Currently there is no fee for entry (possibly due to Covid?) so that was an unexpected pleasure. Restrooms and visitor center remain closed. I hiked the Pine Lakes Loop with a walk down to Cheever Lake and also did the Blackhorse Lake Trail. Startled a beautiful coyote, saw lots of ducks and geese, several white pelicans, a few herons. Also heard porcupines.
I thought I escaped any bug issues but found two ticks on me when I got home. Beware!
