The National Park Service announced Tuesday that the public will have free admission to all national parks, including Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, on four days in 2018.
The four free-entrance days for 2018 will be:
• Jan. 15, Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
• April 21, first day of National Park Week.
• Sept. 22, National Public Lands Day.
• Nov. 11, Veterans Day.
Usual admission to the reconstructed Fort Vancouver stockade, 1001 E. Fifth St., is $5 per person; visitors 15 and younger are free.
Normally, 118 of the 417 national parks charge an entrance fee. The other 299 national parks do not have entrance fees.
The entrance fee waiver for the fee-free days does not cover amenity or user fees for activities such as camping, boat launches, transportation, or special tours.
