    Did you miss some kind of court date or time limit to correct the problem? If so a warrant would have been issued if you were a no show.

    Some "tickets" can not just be paid but require that you appear, But agree, did you not pay it on time, and if not paid, did you fail to appear on the date on the ticket

    Yes. It is stating that there are charges against you and your wanted. Was it an actual state park or was it a federal park under state and federal control?

    You should have received something already. Usually your given time like 2 or 3 weeks to correct a problem or you show up in court and explain why. When you don't show then that's when they issue a warrant for your arrest. You need to examine the original ticket to see what is going on.
