EMPIRE, MICH. Entrance to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore will be free for all visitors this coming Monday, January 18, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
The park will be joining 422 other destinations within the National Park Service in waiving entrance fees on that date as part of a nationwide initiative to encourage people to visit national parks across the country.
The holiday is the first of six National Park Service fee-free dates in 2021. The other fee-free dates include April 17 (the first day of National Park Week), August 4 (one-year anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act), August 25 (the National Park Service’s birthday), September 25 (National Public Lands Day), and November 11 (Veterans Day).
