MICHIGAN (WLUC) - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announces its “Three Free” weekend will be June 8 and 9 this year. If you want to get, and stay, outdoors this summer, start off with two full days where residents and out-of-state visitors can grab a fishing pole, ride the off-road trails and visit state parks, all free of charge.
“Michigan is home to some of the best outdoor recreation opportunities and most beautiful natural spaces you’ll find anywhere,” said DNR Director Dan Eichinger, in the WLUC article. “Whether you’re already an avid outdoors-person or someone just beginning to explore the outdoors, our ‘Three Free’ weekend makes it easy to explore a new hobby, visit a new park or introduce friends to an outdoor experience you love.” The MI DNR will waive the regular Recreation Passport entry fee that grants vehicle access to Michigan’s 103 state parks. Add state park stops to your itinerary and enjoy special programming and events during this state parks centennial year.
