Update on State Parks Impacted By Hurricane Sandy

What facilities are open, closed in the state parks system?

Although Sandy partially shuttered Island Beach State Park and other state recreation facilities, many sites have opened or partially reopened after weeks of clean-up.

So how do you know what's reopened? The state has an ongoing list you can check before planning a hike, camping trip or other jaunt in a state park.

The New Jersey Division of Parks maintains the list, itemizing each of the parks in its roster of facilities, providing a status update on how Hurricane Sandy impacted areas have fared.
