As a state park, I believe this is inherently notable. I was also the article creator (back in 2006). --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Attract and Repel ‖ 20:55, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ebyabe: why was what I wrote here deleted without it even it even showing in this project page's history. Did you do that? Was there a good reason for its deletion? Isn't the purpose of a deletion discussion page for anyone to give a reason why an article should be kept or deleted and if somebody else disagrees with it, shouldn't they reply to that post showing why that reason doesn't follow Wikipedia's policies instead of just removing it to make their own opinion seem more important than the other person's.

Speedy keep. This is a bona fide state park. Verified articles about those are kept. For a recent example see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pelican State Beach. This article is reliably sourced both to the official state website for the park [1] and to a substantial news article.[2] In addition, there's substantial discussion of this park in scholarly works [3][4] as well as in numerous other guide and travel-oriented books such as [5][6][7][8]. Obviously notable. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:11, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
