KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri’s state parks and historic sites will remain open under “normal off-season hours,” but indoor areas will be closed beginning this week.
Visitor and nature centers, museums and offices are temporarily closed to the public.
“Many people will continue to want to get out and enjoy our state parks and we will continue to welcome the public,” Missouri State Parks Director Mike Sutherland said in a news release. “We hope that our state parks will serve as a break from the stress associated with COVID-19 and provide healthy recreation opportunities through the holiday season.”
Day-use areas, such as lodging campgrounds and boat ramps, still will be accessible.
While not required, parks officials encourage visitors to maintain at least six feet of distance and to wear masks when distance cannot be maintained. Local municipalities might have different guidelines for mask usage.
Specific information for individual parks can be accessed online.
