>>2725396virginia in particular seems like a rip-off state compared to maryland, west virginia, and pennsylvania where state parks are mostly free to enter. Virginia seems overly organized, rule-bound and expensive. For instance, you cannot hike on state game lands, even if you don't hunt, in Virginia without a paid permit for the day. That's not the case in WV/MD/PA
I feel like maybe much of the deeper south is more like Virginia and maybe its a southern thing.
