DNR's Free Fun Weekend

MADISON, Wis. -- If you're looking to get out to one of Wisconsin's state parks, there's no better time than this weekend.

June 3 and 4 will mark the 11th annual Free Fun Weekend, the Department of Natural Resources announced. State park admission fees, fishing licenses and trail passes will be waived during the weekend.

"Free Fun Weekend is always a great opportunity for the DNR property crews to welcome summer visitors back," DNR Bureau Director of Parks and Recreation Management Steve Schmelzer said. "If you’ve never visited a state park, forest, trail or recreation area, this is the perfect weekend to find your outdoor adventure."

All state parks and trails will be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. ATVs, UTVs and OHM's will not need to be registered and a trail pass won't be required to ride state ATV trails.

Fishing regulations such as bag and length limits will still apply, but a fishing license and trout or salmon stamps won't be necessary. All DNR boat launches will also be open.
