Not like lawmakers need reasons to create laws....

It is against DCNR Regulations to carry in a State Park. National Parks are governed by Federal law, so it could be code or regulation that prohibits firearms.
Acording to the NRA-ILA:
NATIONAL AND STATE PARKS
Generally, firearms are prohibited in national parks. If you are transporting firearms, you must notify the ranger or gate attendant on your arrival, and your firearm must be rendered inoperable before you enter the park. The National Park Service defines inoperable to mean unloaded, cased, broken down if possible, and out of sight. Individuals in possession of an operable firearm in a national park are subject to arrest. Rules in various state park systems vary, so always inquire first.
