National Public Lands Day is celebrated with fee-free entry to America's National Parks and a variety of volunteer environmental clean-up activities. In the plague year of 2020, things are different.
Before visiting any National Park in 2020, please check the park website to determine its operating status. Updates about the overall NPS response to COVID-19, including safety information, are posted on www.nps.gov/coronavirus.
Fee-free days make national parks accessible to more people. That also means to realistically plan for large crowds by allowing extra time for travel, and carpooling or taking public transportation if possible.
National Parks sometimes have separate parking fees in addition to access or use fees. Always check online to verify the intended National Park Service destination park's policies and fees before making plans.
