Great Falls National Park is in full swing for the summer season, and the weekends as usual have been very busy with locals, especially eager this year for something to do after being cooped up from quarantine.

Great Falls Park never actually shut down due to the pandemic; the trails and park itself remained open, though in early April the gate to the entrance of the park was closed. At that time, the only way to access the trails was to get there on foot or bike. Entrance fees were also waived for a period of time. In March, drinking water and public restrooms, as well as the visitor center, were closed.
