I wonder exactly what this is going to entail? No access? Barricaded? Keep out? No trespassing signs?
I suspect we'll be seeing alot of state park closures because of "budget constraints"

State officials have recommended shuttering six state parks, one public swimming beach and two historic sites in Central New York in an effort to close the state's expected $8.2 billion budget deficit.
The proposed local closures include:
* Chittenango Falls State Park in Madison County
* Clark Reservation State Park in Onondaga County
* Helen McNitt State Park in Madison County
* Old Erie Canal State Park in Onondaga County
* Pixley Falls State Park in Oneida County
* Selkirk Shores State Park public swimming beach in Oswego County
* Springbrook Greens State Park in Cayuga County
* Fort Ontario State Historic Site in Oswego County
* Oriskany Battlefield/Steuben Historic Site in Oneida County

For now, the closures are only recommendations. The Legislature will decide the ultimate fate of the parks when lawmakers vote on a state budget. The deadline for that vote is April 1.
