Parks waiving admission fees Saturday for Nevada Public Lands Day

Saturday is National Public Lands Day, which means admission fees will be waived at all national parks, recreation areas and public lands.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Lake Mead National Recreation Area are included in the fee-free day.

It’s also Nevada Public Lands Day and admission will be free at all state parks. Park fees — including entrance, camping (Saturday night) and boating, where applicable — will be waived.

Several special events will be held at various state parks, including an Indigenous People Market and Festival from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort at 500 E. Washington Ave.

Several dance presentations and more than 25 food vendors will be available.
