Free Fun Weekend
National Safe Boating Council
Try it, you ll like it! That s the philosophy behind this yearly event, in which the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources waives fees required at state parks and trails so that anyone can take nature for a test drive. Kick the tires, metaphorically, as you boat, fish, bike, hike and picnic, all without having to buy a state park vehicle admission sticker (which is well worth the investment, as you ll find out after your free day in a park), trail pass, or even a fishing license. More info follows.
media release: Wisconsin is home to 49 state parks, 15 state forests, 44 state trails, 84,000 miles of rivers and streams, roughly 15,000 lakes and so much more. For the first weekend every June, you can explore it all with state park admission fees, fishing licenses and trail passes waived.
