The public can visit Olympic National Forest and other federal recreation sites for free on Tuesday, the Veterans Day holiday. The fee-free day honors U.S. veterans, members of the U.S. armed forces and their families.
The public can visit Olympic National Forest and other federal recreation sites for free on Tuesday, the Veterans Day holiday. The fee-free day honors U.S. veterans, members of the U.S. armed forces and their families.
The free day marks the third year of the new policy. The administrative fee waiver of recreation-use fees applies annually on Veterans Day at public recreation lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service, as well as by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation. It applies to day-use fees at Forest Service recreation sites across Washington and Oregon, including many picnic areas, boat launches, trailheads and visitor centers.
But fees for camping, cabin rentals, heritage expeditions or other permits will not be waived, and concession operations can charge fees unless the permit holder wishes to participate in free day.
