Know before you go: masks optional for all IRNP facilities (as of 8/16/22)

Post by **fonixmunkee** » Wed Aug 10, 2022 6:53 am

I guess we live in the day and age where government policy is posted to social media, so here you go:

Due to a high-community spread of COVID-19, masks are currently required inside of all Isle Royale buildings and aboard the vessel RANGER III.

Stay up-to-date with what is happening in and around the park on our Current Conditions page - get the link in our story or 'News' highlight.

If the COVID-19 community level drops to low or medium, then masks will not be required. If you have questions about how this may affect your trip, please leave them on this post or contact the Houghton Visitor Center at (906) 482-0984 or isro_parkinfo@nps.gov.

I don't see any mask related notices among the alerts now.

I just got back. There are mask required signs posted on all the concessionaire doors. Most people ignore them, especially at the grill.
The RH Trading Post provided them if you didn't have one, but only if it wasn't busy.
The NPS office across the breezeway from the store is mask recommended but not required. No NPS staff had them on.

Sigh, just another basic rule people can't be bothered to follow these days.

My group caught Covid-19 from the island (well %99 sure it was the seaplane home) in July.

I'm arriving 8/31/22. I have 2 health conditions that could be affected by covid19. I'm going to use my mask, until I'm on the trails. (+cleaning my hands)
