Free vehicle entry will be offered at all Washington County Parks on Friday, Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving, encouraging residents and visitors to spend time outdoors with friends and family during the holiday weekend.
The Friday after Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year, and several outdoor agencies waive entrance fees to encourage the public and communities to spend more time outdoors. Washington County Parks designated it as a free day to visit county parks without purchasing a vehicle permit.
Gather friends and family for a day filled with adventure and nature. Free entry applies to all 10 county parks and regional trails:
County parks offer many amenities, such as hiking, mountain biking, horse trails, and cross-country skiing in winter. The possession or consumption of any alcoholic beverage is prohibited in county parks. Pets are allowed in parking areas and on designated trails and must always be on a maximum six-foot leash. Pets are not allowed on beaches or in campgrounds, indoor facilities, picnic areas, or playgrounds. Pet owners must clean up after their pets.
