The park's restrooms are currently closed due to a construction project on the wastewater treatment facility. Porta-potties and handwashing stations are available in the meantime. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve the park experience for all our visitors.
No walk-ins, drop-offs or bicycle entries permitted: admission only by vehicle via the entry station.
