No judgement, love you all. I think it's good to provide accurate info. The wiki says the Baker Ski Area is probably gated. Anybody able to confirm? Is NOCA really the only NP in the state to close? Anybody have info on Crater Lake or Glacier? Probably closed, links would be great? Is it still the case that NF roads and trails are open? (This thread is about what's closed not what's open.) If not we should include those closures. If true, is it helpful to list specific road closures, or will that get overwhelming? Any info on NFs in our neighbor states? Anybody know a good map of land ownership/management that's easy to link to specific places? If so I can add map links to the wiki when I have time. @Tom I've always assumed you'd prefer us not to link to nwhikers on other social media because nwh is a tight knit community, the internet is full of trolls, and I don't want to bring any here. Thoughts? The closure list is growing to be a useful resource, and I'm assuming if it gets copy/pasted elsewhere you'd appreciate removing any links here? --------------------- I'm lucky to be able to work from home, I want to keep it that way, I'm about to get slammed and won't have time to look into this stuff myself. I know that some people/couples are talking about whether to travel, links to closures would settle some of those debates.

Protected Lands map This site lists a variety of protected lands by agency (e.g., BLM, DOD, NPS ...). Please note, not all protected lands have public access. One get get quite granular with this map.

Basket entry updated. Not relevant if the parking lot is hated of the road is closed down below. Left both links but the text is as concise as I could come to with. Thanks both of you for clarifying.

Thanks, Secret Agent Man! Updated. The wiki is easy to read but getting harder to edit. If people want to reply with updates, I'll add them to the wiki. I write code for a living so this is easier for me than people who aren't "computer people" and I'd rather be helpful than read a bunch of news all saying the same things.

As of Monday, 542 was open all the way. The trailhead parking lot at the end is closed but people were parking on the loop. The ski resort is supposedly closed but there were lots of tracks visible in and out of bounds. Outside the ski resort is undeveloped so it should still be open for dispersed recreation.

Thanks, Marmot and Joker. I'm not sure how the Baker entry should read? Any misleading info will call the entire list into question. The list is for closures only, I'm personally glad there are still opportunities for outdoor recreation for people who need them, but I don't want to put that info on the front page and encourage more people. In here in the comments though, I appreciate the shaded clarification.

Glacier National Park closed March 27 until further notice. They do recommend you visit the park “virtually” via its webcams. I did - it looks beautiful and very empty.

Don't even think about getting anywhere near the water or a trail in the city of Seattle park this weekend; on foot, in your neighborhood, or otherwise: Seattle to close major parks, beaches this weekend

Thanks all for the continuing suggestions. @Ann I added the notice about city parks and beaches with the text that emphasis patrols are under way. All King County parks are already closed so the real news in the link is that police will be involved if necessary. @schifferj Added NPs in neighboring states, all fully closed. Couldn't find a link to Shasta somehow. I'll continue to update as time allows. Looking at the list (first post when you open this thread and on every page) you get the impression that everything is closed, near and far. Finally, I figured out how to nest bullets, hopefully it will continue to be easy to read.
