AUGUSTA — Governor LePage recently announced that all Maine State Parks and Historic Sites will grant Maine residents free admission on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21. This annual gesture is meant to show appreciation for Maine residents for their continued support of Maine State Parks and Historic Sites. All vehicles bearing Maine license plates on Father’s Day will be granted free admission at all 48 state-owned and operated locations, according to Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Bureau of Parks and Lands.
“I encourage Maine families to visit and enjoy Maine State Parks and Historic Sites this summer and throughout the year. There is a lot to see and experience, and all visits are affordable every day, especially Father’s Day.” said Gov. Paul R. LePage in the release.
The details of the free parks admission are: Maine Residents Day, 9 a.m.- closing, Sunday, June 21; all vehicles bearing Maine license plates will be allowed free entrance to Maine state parks and historic sites. No rain date will be available. The open admission does not apply to the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, Baxter State Park, Maine Wildlife Park, Peacock Beach, Scarborough Beach, Swan Island, or the Penobscot Narrows Observatory in Prospect, though admission to Fort Knox State Historic Site will be free that day.
