A5. Well, since I was just there, I vote for Harstine Island @WAStatePks. Beautiful forest -- even some old-growth! -- and saltwater shoreline. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5) Particularly around the corner from me is Mt Diablo State Park with many hiking trails & campgrounds along with one of the best vista views in the World. I believe that if it wasn't in California it would be part of the National Park Service. #ParkChat

A5: We're currently in Illinois, and we'd highly recommend Starved Rock State Park, and it's sister the often overlooked Mathiessen state park. Small sandstone canyons and waterfalls in the middle of IL. #ParkChat https://t.co/Q56KSO0j13

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5. I am currently on my way to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, by way of a few Ventura County Parks. Both are great park systems and Anza Borrego is one of the most magical places I have visited! #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5. We have Crystal Cove, Huntington State Beach, Casper’s Regional all very close by - Anza Borrego and Red Rick Canton are also two favorites #ParkChat

A5: As I live in Japan, I can't really answer this question. However, @ALStateParks are great. Oak Mountain SP is close to @inbirmingham, and is a great hiking option for people in @TweetHomeAla. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5 Silver Falls State Park is about an hour's drive from my house. It gets crazy busy, but there's a reason why. It's a beautiful park with miles of hiking trails. #parkchat

A5. There’s some great historic semi-private parks in #Virginia, such as #colonialWilliamsburg #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5. Last week I took the kids to Long Branch Plantation in the Shenandoah Valley National Heritage Area. It was amazing to walk among the horse pastures! #ParkChat

Q5: Now is a great time to visit a state or county park. What’s one you’d recommend that’s a day trip from where you live? #ParkChat

A5: With so many incredible state & county parks throughout the U.S., we'd love to hear suggestions for good Nat Parks alternatives! #WeAreParks

A5 #ParkChat I haven't been to any near me. but my favorite state park is Valley of Fire outside Las Vegas in @TravelNevada and I'm actually going there this weekend!

A5: @AntelopeSP is a great place to visit in the winter as it doesn't have the snows of the higher trails or the bugs of the summer. Plus, there are buffalo! @UtahStateParks @UtahDWR #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5: There are so many options here in California. My most recent stop was Big Basin Redwoods last November, which I visited to get away from the Camp Fire smoke. https://t.co/hKXx3quVrw #ParkChat
