Comes down to one issue..."liability". If they can't staff them, the state isn't going to open itself up to the exposure if frivolous lawsuits.

WMA ranges are not staffed. CO might stop by to check for licenses from time to time, but there's usually nobody there. and even that is pretty rare (at least in NNJ)... i've only seen a CO at a WMA range once, ever.

i could understand liability being an issue if there was no enforcement available, but it doesn't appear they are furloughing state troopers or COs, so I don't see how this makes any sense! i really feel like the DFW, Murphy, or the CWA owes NJ residents a better explanation why places with no staff are closed "due to state-mandated employee furloughs".

Saw RVTA had to cancel their tourney again, they posted a pic on FB of the barricades already up at RVR. Bummer for those guys. Does seem odd to close a usually unmanned ramp.

Can you still launch at Round Valley if you have an inflatable that you can carry to the water instead of using a ramp?

From what I saw, the parking lot is barricaded off so you wouldn't even be able to park legally.

Thanks. They really want us to stay home I guess. Myself, I can find things to do around the house but my kids are bored to death. Fishing and boating are pretty much the main attractions these days.

plenty of other places open, this isnt a public park shutdown like back in april, but just most of the WMAs.

I know but all those people from the closed WMAs will now go to the available open parks. I have to wake the kids up earlier and earlier these days to avoid LOT FULL signs at the local boating places.
