replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs @NYstateparks A2 I'm biased to Indiana's. Ohio has more state parks. They're free and tend to be much smaller. Fewer naturalist-led programs in Ohio than in Indiana. Ohio does have many fine state parks, especially Hocking Hills and Hueston Woods. #parkchat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @WAStatePks I’m taking notes! The list is long! #ParkChat

A6 #ParkChat State parks (more often) allow dogs on trails and campgrounds are usually in better condition than in National Parks. (At least, that’s been my experience.)

A8. We’re going to cheat. It does leave off Antelope Island but does a good job capturing some of the best. https://t.co/YStL5iyXBu #ParkChat

A8) Best state parks in the country, that's tough, but we'd put Franconia Notch, NH; Harriman, NY; Anza-Borrego, CA; Ecola State Park, OR; as four really good ones! #ParkChat

Q9: Do you visit state parks as part of your national park trips? What is a must-visit state park near a national park? #ParkChat #everybodysnationalparks

replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs A8 Gotta nominate Custer State Park in SD for the best parks in country list. Amazing wildlife. #parkchat
