MAINE GOVERNMENT NEWS • July 31, 2020

Earlier this week, in response to the fatal shark attack near Bailey Island, water activity restrictions took effect at Maine's coastal State Parks with beaches. Today, the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands is limiting water access at Popham Beach State Park and Reid State Park restricted to waist-deep water access (the lagoon at Reid State Park remains open). Ferry Beach State Park and Crescent Beach State Park remain restricted to waist-deep water access. All other coastal Maine State Parks are allowing regular water activity.
