State parks, facilities to reopen Tuesday

The state Department of Land and Natural Resources will reopen all state parks, state small boat harbors, and managed forest areas Tuesday.   

These state lands were closed Friday for public safety due to anticipated heavy rains, flooding, high surf and surge from Hurricane Ana, DLNR said in a news release Monday.

Assessments conducted by DLNR personnel found minimal impacts from Hurricane Ana, which passed Kauai on Sunday, the release said.

Issuance of all state forest camping and state park camping permits has been restored via the Wiki permit online reservations website at https://camping.ehawaii.gov/camping/welcome.html

Any persons holding valid permits for state camping areas over the past weekend should contact DLNR for refunds.
