Explore federal Public Lands across the U.S. for free today!
In honor of Memorial Day, there are no entrance fees to federal public lands. Memorial Day is a U.S. federal holiday on the last Monday in May, honoring military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, originating from Civil War traditions of decorating fallen soldiers' graves as "Decoration Day". It's a day for remembrance, with traditions like laying wreaths at monuments, attending services, and placing flags on graves, serving as a solemn occasion to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice made for the country
Most of the sites managed by the National Park Service are free to visit, but some require an entrance pass. You may also need a reservation at a few high-traffic sites.
