Federal access on old mine road was closed from Millbrook village to Worthington State Park  today as well.   They of course closed it from the Worthington State park side off Rt 80, but my buddy was going over to Poxono to shad fish and a fed turned him away citing " too many hikers in both Worthington and Water Gap recreation Area leaving too much garbage presenting health hazard"  So that 10-15 mile stretch is definitely shut down including two public boat ramps and many good shoreline fishing spots. 

I am not sure what other parts of the DWG Recreation Area will be shut down (federal lands and access - not state) but suffice to say, some of it already is

I came in from the Millbrook side today. Old mine closed from just past Millbrook Village. Road going over Mountain down to Flatbrook was still open, however road going up to Crater lake and Blue Mountain lake was closed.
