It seems the year has barely started, but already one of your eight federal “fee free” entry days has slipped away. Martin Luther King Jr. Day has come and gone. Now just seven more free days remain, according to the U.S. Department of Interior. With at least one Interior-managed site in every state and most metropolitan areas, there are many opportunities to get outdoors.
According to a media release, fee free entry days offer an incredible opportunity to visit a public lands site or national park that normally charges an entrance fee. Each fee free day commemorates a significant date to celebrate the public lands that the Department manages.
April marks spring and the first of these fee free days remaining

Thank you for the warning, Russ and Tina! I will steer well clear of national parks on those days. Have a great day and safe travels!
Same here !!
So the impression I get is that those days don’t give an across the board fee free entry to all pay to play federal lands? Veterans Day is only fee free to BLM & Fish & Wildlife sites? Am I correct?
