California State Park closures have hit hikers hard, but state parks across the United States are also locking the gates.
Tom Mangan of the Two-Heel Drive hiking blog just wrote a detailed article for Trailspace.com about the park closures in several states:
Five parks in Arizona are closed indefinitely, more than three dozen New York state parks are on a list to remain closed this summer, and California is pinning its hopes on a November referendum to keep parks open after this summer. Rapid declines in government revenues have forced budget cuts at parks across the country, resulting in rising fees, deferred maintenance, and reductions in park services.
