The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources reminded people that certain parking lots at Beltzville will be closed on weekends.

Starting this weekend and continuing through Labor Day, a number of trailhead parking lots including the Wild Creek, Evergreen, Cove, and Christman trailheads will be closed from sunset on Friday through Monday morning each week.

The closures are in effect to prevent further damage and degradation to the resource.

On high capacity days, the day use area of the park will close once parking is filled and traffic on Pohopoco Drive will be directed away from the park entrance.

Once the day use area closes, walk in visitors will be prohibited. Due to limited parking, buses will not be permitted without prior written approval from the park manager.

Alcoholic beverages are prohibited. Swimming is only permitted in the designated swimming area, loud noise/music should be kept to a minimum, and people are asked to clean up after yourselves and pets.
