Wildlife Drive:Opens May 1st, 2020
The Wildlife Drive will open on May 1st this year instead of June 1st because the bald eagle’s nest adjacent to the Wildlife Drive was not used this year.
To adhere to the Governor’s Executive Order, we ask all visitors on the Wildlife Drive and trails to stay at least 6 feet
away from other visitors and staff.
Note: If these provisions are not met, we may
have to close the Wildlife Drive or trails to protect public and staff safety
Help Keep The Wildlife Drive Open
By Adhering To The Following Guidelines:
- Use pull-over areas when stopping to observe
wildlife. Otherwise keep driving.
- Watch for potential construction traffic.
- Maintain at least 6 foot social distancing on
trails and at observation decks.
- Do not exceed posted speed limit of 15 miles
per hour.
Report these and all other suspected violations to: 1-800-292-7800
Note: All public bathrooms are
closed for public and employee safety.

To continue the progress of this much needed work the Wildlife Drive may be closed temporarily or altered in route in the upcoming weeks of the season.
