Hontoon Island State Park Holidays

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in significant changes to how we travel. If you plan to visit Hontoon Island State Park, the following tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
