Entry fees waived at state parks for Veteran's Day

You can visit any of Florida’s state parks for free on Thursday in honor of Veteran’s Day.

Florida’s State Parks will waive day-use entrance fees for all visitors in honor of veterans and active duty military personnel in all branches.

All other use fees, such as overnight accommodations, tours or special events, will be charged as usual.

Florida’s state parks support veterans and members of the U.S. Armed Forces year-round through a variety of initiatives.

The POW-MIA flag is flown in Florida’s state parks and the Orman House Historic State Park in Apalachicola is home to the only replica of the Three Servicemen statue at the Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Active-duty members of the Florida National Guard, their spouses and minor children also receive half-price entry to Florida’s state parks year-round.

Local state parks include The St. George Island State Park, The Bald Point State Park, the Orman House and Gorrie Museum in Apalachicola as well as the Ochlocknee River State Park in Wakulla County and the St. Joe Peninsula State Park in Gulf County.
