Q4: How do you find accessibility and diversity in state parks compared to national parks (availability to people with disabilities, people of different socio-economics, accessibility by different forms of transportation…)? #ParkChat #everybodysnationalparks

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @ParksandPoints @EverybodysNPs @NYstateparks I just did some homework! Wiki: "The largest state park system in the United States is Alaska State Parks, with over 100 sites encompassing 3.3 million acres.” #ParkChat

A3) Rockefeller State Park with @NYstateparks has the LARGEST glacial erratic we have ever seen. (Amy Beth for scale) #Parkchat

replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs #parkchat A3 @CusterStatePark is a definite and backs up to @WindCaveNPS so it is almost a given you have to go! #bison, elk, wild burros, and tons of hiking trails and lakes!

replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs A4. I think accessibility is much better at the state park level. at least from what I've seen in my limited adventures. Far more paved paths and much closer to a more diverse population. Heck, we have several right here in or near the DFW metroplex. #ParkChat

#ParkChat I'm a big fan of Mt. Washington State Park in New Hampshire. Most people don't realize that the Rock Pile is actually a state park

A4: It depends drastically on the state. Some states are phenomenal about this - usually the ones who have upgraded most of their parks in the last decade or two. New Mexico, Indiana, Alabama, and Louisiana come to mind. #ParkChat https://t.co/iPSCfcOPan

A2. We spent quite some time in Louisiana last winter and they have some amazing state parks and historic sites. Seemed to be a range of admission fees but hubby qualifies as a senior now so that helps. #parkchat

replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs #parkchat A4 it seems that in SD there are more paved trails or partially paved, lots of boat ramps, easy a Ed's, and tons of tourists for diversity!

replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs A4: Our State Parks in Texas can be found in all environments, providing access for all. Cedar Hill State Park is smack between Dallas and Fort Worth. And the amenities for those with disabilities is tremendous as well. #ParkChat

A4 At least with out local state parks and Kennesaw Mtn NB and Chattahoochee NRA, I would say they are pretty comparable. #parkchat

replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs A4) We have found it varies greatly by state, but none really seems to match the #NPS efforts. We'd love to hear about states that are exceeding at this! #ParkChat

replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs A3: this one is a bit sad 😔 Sleeping Giant is our favorite, but it’s closed due to the tornado that ripped through the park. We’ve walked the tower trail a million times & climbed up to the head #parkchat
