text: Faced with closure of our state parks due to the state's budget crisis, non-profit Levitation 49 competed in a public process and was awarded the permit to operate Worthington Glacier, Blueberry Lake State Recreation sites, Shoup Bay Trail & three public use cabins at Shoup Bay State Marine Park. Our agreement with State Parks is to reinvest camping fees from Blueberry & Shoup to pay for the maintenance of all four state parks. The state requires L49 to operate and maintain these assets from May 15 - Sept. 15, though we will try to keep a roadside bathroom at Worthington open this winter to try to keep the Pass a little cleaner. This summer, local volunteers rallied with us to donate 6000+ hours/2.6 years worth of time to trail rehab, vegetation control, waste & trash management of these Parks. The permit does not require L49 to be janitors for any commercial events on the pass. We expect all users to do their part to be good stewards of the public lands and respectful of one another.
