Notes:
BLM: On fee-free days, the waiver applies to recreation standard amenity and day-use fees on BLM lands, including visitor centers, picnic/day use areas and National Conservation Lands units. Expanded amenity fees and other fees (i.e., group day-use, developed camping, cabin rentals, and individual special recreation permits for the use of special areas) remain in effect.
WSP: Free days apply only to day use (not overnight stays or rented facilities). Sno-Park permits are still required on free days at designated Sno-Parks during the winter season.
