Frustrated with local laws

[Whitewaterflies]

I'm in wantage nj. Right near High Point state park, I'm on the cusp of buying my first drone, (Mav Air). But, I'm so close to great sites to fly, but, looks like according to the NJ laws, I'm not really allowed to fly in them, so, I'm wondering why I would buy it, if I can't fly where I want? I also am going to the Yellowstone area this summer, and want to become efficient at flying for that trip, but, looks like I cant fly there either. Frustrating.... any advice would be appreciated

My advice? State and national parks, city and county parks are places where lots of people congregate. For safety reasons alone, it's not wise to have a drone buzzing overhead in these areas. Spend a little time scouting out a nice quiet area where you won't be considered a nuisance and attract a lot of attention.

I’m in NJ, I fly along the coast, behind local HS on weekends when no one is around, local Scout camp on weekdays when not in use and still looking for new places to fly all the time.

Same here, let me know if you find any.

You are absolutely correct. But the law is the law. There are great legal places to fly, but you can't legally fly in every place. If you can't find, or get to some good legal areas, a drone might not be a good investment for you

South Jersey have more places to fly a drone than north Jersey and would say more freedom for drone owners as well. I live in Philly which is a city full of places to fly and literally no restrictions for drones.

$200 fine if your caught in Yellowstone. Almost worth it for good video.

Sure check the Penn treaty park, Penns landing, Boathouse Row, Fairmount park, Philadelphia museum of art, etc so many places that you can fly.

Actually, the fine is up to $5,000.
