Nevada residents and visitors are invited to “Discover Nevada State Parks” on Saturday, June 11, when admission is free at all 23 of Nevada’s state parks.
The statewide event encourages Nevadans to explore the many exciting and affordable recreation opportunities right in their own backyards.
“Nevada’s 23 state parks offer a great diversity of outdoor opportunities,” said State Parks Administrator Eric Johnson. “For example, visitors can explore the slot canyons of Cathedral Gorge, tour a genuine ghost town at Berlin-Ichthyosaur or spend a relaxing afternoon fishing at Cave Lake.”
Discover Nevada State Parks day is also an opportunity for visitors to take the passport challenge and add a stamp to their passport booklet, or if they don’t have one yet, to pick one up while visiting a state park. Once visitors have their passports stamped at 15 different parks, they earn a free annual pass to all Nevada State Parks.
