Cottonwood Canyon State Park 
Can hardly wait, you have worked so hard to get it done on time.
Reblogged this on Your Parks "Go Guide" and commented:
Cottonwood Canyon State Park is nearly ready for a late September opening. Will you visit?
Looking forward to seeing our newest state park. We will come visit and possibly park host there in the future.
It’s looking good! I guess the next request is, can a map of the new park’s layout be made available yet?
The brochure is almost finished … it’ll get posted here and the park web page.
Is there a solid opening date yet? Would love to experience this park from the beginning!
There’s an opening ceremony September 25 from 9a-3p, then some informal activities that following weekend (Sept. 28-29). I’ll get a full schedule and post it here.
The first full weekend for the park will be Sept. 28-29, and it will be open from then on.
Beautiful. Can’t wait to visit Cottonwood Canyon State Park!
