Missouri closes four state parks after overcrowding

(Missourinet) To address overcrowding and social distancing problems over the weekend, state Department of Natural Resources Director Carol Comer says Missouri is temporarily closing four state parks and partially-closing another one.

The state parks closing are Castlewood, Elephant Rocks, Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site and Park, and Weston Bend. St. Joe State Park will close the off-road vehicle riding area.

The changes take effect at 5 p.m. on Thursday and are scheduled to continue until April 30.
