Free Access To Public Recreation Areas This Weekend

From November 11 to 13, you will be able to access several public recreation areas without paying entrance fees.

The National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service will waive entrance fees in recognition of Veterans Day weekend. Some fees, such as those for camping or concessions, will still apply.

Many of the recreational areas offer activities like hiking, biking, rock climbing or horse back riding.

Find a public recreation area and activities near you.
