Public lands can be visited for free on Veterans Day, with no entrance fees charged at national or state parks or on National Forest Service land.
Olympic National Park will charge no entrance fees Wednesday in honor of Veterans Day.
Usually, Olympic National Park has an entrance fee of $15 per car.
On fee-free days, other park fees, including wilderness camping and campground fees, will remain in effect.
State parks
State park visitors will not need to display a Discover Pass for day-use visits Wednesday.
State parks on the North Olympic Peninsula are Bogachiel near Forks, Dosewallips near Brinnon, Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island, Fort Townsend and Fort Worden in Port Townsend, Anderson Lake State Park near Chimacum and Sequim Bay near Sequim.
The Discover Pass is a $30 annual or $10 one-day permit required on recreation lands managed by State Parks, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the state Department of Natural Resources.
Free days apply only to day use, not to overnight stays or facilities.
Overnight visitors in state parks are charged fees for camping and other accommodations; day access is included in the overnight fee.
Forest Service
The U.S. Forest Service will waive any fees usually charged at day-use recreation sites throughout Washington and Oregon on Wednesday.
The fee waiver will include many picnic areas, boat launches, trailheads and visitor centers.
Concession operations will continue to charge fees unless the permit holder wishes to participate.
Fees for camping, cabin rentals, heritage expeditions or other permits still apply.
No fees are charged at any time on 98 percent of national forests.
