This day celebrates National Public Lands Day 2026. Since 1994, this annual event on the fourth Saturday of September has been the nation's largest single-day volunteer effort in parks.
The Washington State Discover Pass gives you unlimited access to millions of acres of unforgettable nature across Washington state. When you buy a Discover Pass, you help preserve and conserve our public lands for everyone—from the first-time visitor to the expert adventurer—and for the generations yet to come.
