What is the general restriction for persons in parks between 10PM and 6AM?

In state parks, the general restriction that prohibits individuals from being in the park between 10 PM and 6 AM is often implemented to preserve the natural environment and maintain the safety of both visitors and wildlife. The absence of human activity during these hours can help reduce disturbances to nocturnal animals, minimize noise pollution, and ensure a peaceful atmosphere for both wildlife and park users.

By restricting access during these hours, park authorities can also better monitor the park's safety and security, reducing the likelihood of accidents or other incidents that may occur in the dark. This restriction effectively encourages visitors to enjoy the park during daylight hours when they can fully appreciate the natural beauty and engage in recreational activities safely.
