Operative words
the vast majority of state parks remain open, as they've been throughout the pandemic. The restrictions that they've operated under, such as daily capacity limits, social distancing guidelines for visitors, and use of face coverings, also remain in place.... DEEP will close beaches at inland State Parks, and prohibit [swimming there]... At least 6 feet of social distancing must be maintained between persons, and groups over five remain prohibited.
Enforcement
