Did you know June 8 is National Get Outdoors Day?

To honor this day, the USDA Forest Service will waive fees at most day-use recreation sites in the Huron-Manistee National Forests on Saturday, June 8.

For those outdoor enthusiasts, here is a list of recreation sites that will have free access:

•The Nurnberg Trailhead at Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area in Mason County;

•The Big M Mountain Bike Trail in Manistee County;

•The Hoist Lake Foot Travel Area in Alcona County;

•Loda Lake National Wildflower Sanctuary in Newaygo County; and

•Rainbow Bend and other access sites on the Manistee Wild and Scenic River.

However, the National Get Outdoors Day fee waiver does not apply to:

•Camping fees;

•Day-use fees at the 14 sites in the Manistee National Forest that are managed by concessionaire American Land and Leisure; or

•Special fees, such as Pine and Pere Marquette River watercraft permits.

If you're unable to make it on June 8, the Forest Service will offer two additional fee-free opportunities in 2019, which will be on Sept. 28 for National Public Wetlands Day and Nov. 9 to 11 for Veterans Day Weekend.
