Free Maine State Park Admission on Father’s Day

How about this for a great gift for dad on Father's Day? And it's free. All Maine State Parks and Historic Sites will treat Maine residents to free admission on Sunday, June 21.

All vehicles bearing Maine license plates on Father’s Day will be granted free-admission at all 48 state-owned and operated locations, according to Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s (DACF) Bureau of Parks and Lands.

“I encourage Maine families to visit and enjoy Maine State Parks and Historic Sites this summer and throughout the year,” said Governor Paul R. LePage. “There is a lot to see and experience, and all visits are affordable every day, especially Father’s Day.”

The open admission does not apply to the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, Baxter State Park, the Maine Wildlife Park, Peacock Beach, Scarborough Beach, Swan Island, or the Penobscot Narrows Observatory in Prospect, though admission to Fort Knox State Historic Site will be free that day.
