BAYFIELD, WI (KDAL) – To protect the health of those who live, work, and visit national parks and National Park Service (NPS) facilities, and in support of President Biden’s Executive Order on Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing, NPS is immediately implementing a mask requirement for employees, visitors, partners and contractors.
At Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, face masks are now required in all park buildings and facilities, including visitor centers and lighthouses.
Masks are also required by anyone over the age of two years old on NPS-managed lands when physical distancing cannot be maintained.
This includes all common areas and shared workspaces in buildings owned, rented, or leased by the National Park Service, including, but not limited to, park visitor centers, administrative offices, lodges, and gift shops.
Also, all outdoor areas, when others are present and where physical distancing cannot reasonably be maintained. That includes trails, beaches, docks, viewpoints, and stairways.
As conditions are subject to change, visitors should check the park’s website and social media channels for details on the latest requirements before they visit.
