'Fee Holiday' Will Allow Maine Residents To Visit Maine Parks For Free

Maine residents will be able to pay day visits to most Maine State Parks and Historic Sites free of charge from this Saturday through Labor Day.

In a statement Gov. Paul LePage says he signed the financial order to recognize public support for the parks.

The "Fee Holiday" will not extend to camping of any sort and not all state Parks and Historic Sites are participating.

More information is available on the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands webpage.
