Nevada and California Parks Offer Free Admission Days

On June 14, 2025, entrance fees will be waived at all Nevada state parks for Free Adventure Day, coinciding with the Nevada Department of Wildlife's Free Fishing Day, which allows fishing without a license. Special events will take place at parks such as Old Las Vegas Historic Mormon Fort, Ice Age Fossils State Park, and Spring Valley State Park, offering activities like pioneer heritage celebrations, educational talks, and kids’ fishing derbies. Park officials recommend visitors bring water, wear sunscreen, dress in layers, and follow Leave No Trace principles, with only entrance fees waived and other fees still applicable. This initiative seeks to encourage outdoor recreation and appreciation for Nevada’s natural and historical resources. In California, national parks will offer free admission on Juneteenth and select other days, as part of broader efforts to increase accessibility to outdoor experiences. Visitors are encouraged to check state websites for event details and participating parks.
