Ohiopyle State Park

The National Recreation and Parks Association has selected the Pennsylvania state park system as the premier state park system in the U.S. The award is ironic, in that DCNR just escaped the legislative budgeting process (100 days late) with an almost 20% decrease in funding. There is speculation that a number of state parks will be forced to close. Isn’t it interesting how legislatures always seem to pick exactly the wrong programs to attack at exactly the wrong time?
