LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — In honor of Nevada's great outdoors, the Nevada Division of State Parks will be waiving entrance fees for all state parks across Nevada on Saturday, June 14.
Free Adventure Day coincides with the Nevada Department of Wildlife's Free Fishing Day, so anyone can fish in Nevada's water without a fishing license.
“Free Adventure Day is a great opportunity for Nevadans and out-of-state visitors to discover the sites and recreational opportunities in our state parks,” said Bob Mergell, Administrator for Nevada State Parks. “Whether you’re hiking, boating, picnicking, or enjoying nature, we hope everyone will take advantage of this special day.”
There will also be parks hosting special events and activities to celebrate, like:
