An article reporting on the current park closures in today's paper states that park lakes, trails and parking lots are to remain open. Park facilities and bathrooms are to be closed. Do our local parks need to clarify the governor's order?

It would be good to get some clarification on what is permitted and what is not.
Can I park outside Marsh Creek and hike the perimeter?
Can I park on the road and fish MC from the shore (looks like some are doing that)?
Can I park on the road and wade fish Chambers Lake?

State Parks and Forests Facility Closures The public can access trails, lakes, roads, and parking for passive and dispersed recreation, such as hiking; however, all facilities at state parks and forests in Pennsylvania will be closed for 14 days effective Tuesday, March 17, to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. linkAnd more link |

Here is what is suppose to happen at DCNR Lakes / State Parks (Marsh Creek State Park / Lake included) > DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn made the announcement Friday, following President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration, and Pennsylvania Gov. Wolf’s decision to close all public schools in the state. “As the coronavirus continues to spread, we want to assure our visitors that their health and safety is a primary concern,” Dunn said. “We are taking extra precaution by canceling group activities in an effort to minimize the risk of exposure and spread of COVID-19, while still allowing visitors access to the recreation and beautiful outdoor places, including fishing during the upcoming trout season, that can help their physical and mental health.”With the exception of the closed state parks in Montgomery County, fishing will continue to be allowed at Pennsylvania state parks and forests. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will continue to stock trout, and fishing on mentored youth days and opening days will be permitted. For the latest on trout stocking, visit the PFBC website. Link to source: www.nih.gov/news-events/news-r ... rus-stable-hours-surfaces |

Was at Marsh Creek today and there were both bass boats and kayaks all over the lake. The guys I spoke to had no luck.
