As 2014 comes to a close, every year I publish the dates for FREE National Park days, so you can make plans for 2015 and visit various National Parks throughout the year. The first one this year falls on MLK Day on January 19th, 2015.
The 2015 entrance fee-free days are:
- January 19 Martin Luther King Jr. Day
- February 14-16 Presidents Day weekend
- April 18-19 opening weekend of National Park Week
- August 25 National Park Service Birthday
- September 26 National Public Lands Day
- November 11 Veterans Day
Other Federal land management agencies that will offer fee-free days in 2015 are: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Forest Service and the Army Corps of Engineers.
Only 133 of our country's 401 national parks usually charge an entrance fee. So start Planning Your Visit at http://www.nps.gov/findapark/index.htm!
If you're planning a trip that includes multiple national parks, you might consider the $80 annual pass that provides entrance to all national parks, national wildlife refuges, national forests, and many other Federal lands-more than 2,000 in all.
