The
St. George Island State Park should be open this weekend, just in
time for chili cookoff.
The
State Park plans to open its gates to the public on Friday March the
1st.
The
park has been closed since Hurricane Michael tore across our area
last October.
The
park suffered
major damage from winds and strong storm surge which
destroyed structures and buried roads under sand.
The
tall dunes bordering the drive into the park absorbed much
of the force of the hurricane, scattering sand and plants over the
park.
Repair
work has been going on ever since.
Both
boat ramps, kayak rentals, group camping, primitive camping and the
family campground should be open this weekend.
The
two large beach use areas, the East Slough Overlook Trail, and the
East End Special Use Area will remain closed until additional repairs
can be made.
The
two beach use areas were hit especially hard by the storm.
