Nice video, Here in the communist state of NY we are not allowed to fly in OUR state parks.  Matter of fact I'm not sure if it is legal to breath or not........ Have to look in to that. "we the people"    right!

I'm from New York but moved 10 years ago before droning was a popular hobby. Growing up I did a lot of RC planes and cars inside public parks, mainly Nassau County, and my good friend worked for the Parks and Recreational Department. We never encountered any problems liberally flying or driving inside Parks, but obviously times have changed?

Yes, they have changed indeed. We can still fly the Park flyer electric planes in small open parks, However,   the News Media coverage of quad flying has us all painted with a wide stroke of incompetence, ignorance and recklessness. We'll take Casey Nutsac for example. His posts on youtube do little to keep our reputation intact. So I get the need to crack down a bit. But in true NY state style of over reacting to what they don't know or understand, we are handcuffed. You were smart to leave 10 years ago, kudos to you.
I'm on a 3 year plan on going south myself.

I have a friend who just moved back to New York after living 7 years in Los Angeles. He flies drones and flew a lot in LA, curious what his reaction will be?

I live in Eugene, and Silver Falls is one of my favorite places to visit! I have always wanted to fly there but wasn't sure if it was legal or not. Did anyone give you any trouble? Beautiful shots!

It is a gorgeous area.  I didn't have any problems, however I was careful to take off and land far away from where any people were gathering or enjoying the view.

Really nice video of the Falls.

I read that the only park in Oregon that is off limits to Drones is  at Smith Rock,  no drones are allowed because of nesting eagles.

Lisa Sumption State Park Director stated:
They are concerned about  South Falls at Silver Falls State Park and their next step will be crafting rules, park to park, for drones.
