The Differences between the State Parks and Nature Preserves
The difference mostly concerns the State government’s goal for that area. In general, State Nature Preserves focus more on the preservation of the area and thus have more restrictions and less human development. In contrast, state parks typically have more amenities such as bathrooms with plumbing, camp pavilions, developed campgrounds, and cabins, and may have a lodge.
