State Park free days
Washington State Parks offers several "free days" when a Discover Pass is not required to visit a state park. Following are the 2021 State Parks free days:
Jan. 1 — First Day Hikes; New Year’s Day
Jan. 18 — Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
March 19 — State Parks’ 108th Birthday
April 3 — Springtime free day
June 5 — National Trails Day

June 13 — Free Fishing Day
Aug. 25 — National Park Service Birthday
Sept. 25 — National Public Lands Day
Nov. 11 — Veterans Day

Please note, free days apply only to day use (not overnight stays or rented facilities). A Discover Pass is still required to access lands managed by the Washington state departments of Natural Resources and Fish & Wildlife on all other days. Sno-Park permits are still required on free days at designated Sno-Parks during the winter season.
Discover some of the most beautiful recreation destinations in the state. When you explore the 3.3 million acres of state trust lands managed by DNR, you’ll find more than 1,200 miles of trails, 160 recreation sites, and 80 free first-come, first-served campgrounds just waiting to host your next adventure.
