Took a ride to RVR, the boat ramp area entrance is chained off so zero access. Not surprised, but had some hope it was a loophole away from the recreation area

So what lakes have launches that are open besides hopatcong? I guess Budd should be open...oh joy.

No, thank the Free Shlt Army that is bankrupting this state. Half the people that vote don't pay income tax and guess what they vote for- More Free Shlt

That is some BS right there!! I can see closing the rec area side because that takes staff for lifeguards etc, but the fishing access side is unstaffed! Someone actually had to go out of their way to go drag a chain out to close it. The state park police are considered essential and are still working in the event of an emergency, no reason the fishing access area should be closed.

It was odd seeing a bright yellow chain shutting down access to the parking lot and a guy sitting in a pick-up truck I assume was off duty police or ranger. I just could not remember if there was a gate there as I've never seen the area closed, but no gate, just some ingenuity to shut it down.

Oh wells, at least Merrill Creek moved off my to-do list to my done list today.

And kudos to the poster who said if the government shuts down all officials involved should be automatically ineligible for reelection. And maybe move the annual budget vote to the middle of winter so the government doesn't have to screw their constituents like this on a holiday weekend meant for being outdoors.
