The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced Friday it will waive day use fees at its more than 2,850 USACE-operated recreation areas nationwide in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Jan. 15.
The waiver covers fees for boat launch ramps and swim beaches. The waiver does not apply to camping and camping-related services or fees for specialized facilities and events. Other entities who manage recreation areas on USACE lands are encouraged, but not required, to offer the waiver in areas they manage.
Visitors should contact USACE projects before visiting to ensure recreation areas are open. The status of USACE-managed campgrounds, boat ramps, swim beaches and other sites is available at www.corpslakes.us.
USACE also offers other fee-free days throughout the year to mark days of celebration and commemoration, including USACE birthday; Juneteenth National Independence Day; Veterans Day and National Public Lands Day.
