It looks like Maryland's state parks are another victim of on-going state budget shortfalls. According to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Maryland State Parks and other public lands managed by the State will be closed during service reduction days for the 2009 holiday season, as part of the State’s Furlough and Temporary Salary Reduction Plan. Public use parking lots, buildings and other facilities will not be available on those days. State parks will remain open on Thanksgiving, Native American Appreciation Day and New Years Day. The Holiday closing schedule is as follows:
- November 25 (the day before Thanksgiving) –State service reduction day
- December 24 (Christmas Eve) –State service reduction day
- December 25 (Christmas Day) – Holiday
- December 31 (New Years Eve) - State service reduction day
All state park camping and cabin reservations will be honored on those days. Law enforcement personnel (Maryland Park Service Rangers and Natural Resources Police) will be on duty during the holidays and service reduction days.
