The state of Washington will provide free admissions to over 100 of its state parks in honor of Veterans Dat and Native American Heritage Day in November.
Visitors can enjoy free admission on November 11, Veteran’s Day, and November 25, Native American Heritage Day. These are the final scheduled free park days for 2022, according to a report.
On free park days, visitors are not required to display the Discover Pass for day-use visits to a Washington state park or on lands managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) or Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) on these dates.
The free days align with legislation that created the Discover Pass. Discover Passes cost $30 for an annual pass or $10 for a one-day permit. The pass is required for vehicle access to state recreation lands managed by Washington State Parks, WDFW, and DNR.
The Discover Pass legislation indicated that State Parks could designate up to 12 free days when the pass would not be required to visit state recreation lands.
The Discover Pass provides daytime access to state parks. Overnight visitors in state parks are charged fees for camping and overnight accommodations.
