The district's Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is open on all federal holidays as posted on the district's website at www.sjrwmd.com/lands/recreation. The Lake Apopka North Shore and wildlife drive are not affected by the federal government shutdown as the property is owned by the St. Johns River Water Management District, an agency of the state of Florida.
Is the park open in the event of a government shutdown?
It should be open
Which website are you seeing this on? The site I know of showed it open Jan 1. https://www.sjrwmd.com/lands/recreation/lake-apopka/
