Outdoor recreation in Alabama is considered an essential activity in the Order of the State Health Officer that was issued on Friday.

That means outdoors activities such as hunting, fishing, trail use, boating, and paddling can still be enjoyed by all Alabamians as long as groups are kept to less than 10 people and a consistent 6-foot distance between persons can be maintained.

Additionally, most Alabama State Parks, including campgrounds and associated facilities, remain open with some exceptions.
