The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has announced it will waive day use fees for veterans, active and reserve service members, and their families, at certain USACE operated recreation areas on Veterans Day, November 11.
Lakes that will waive day use fees include Nolin River Lake, Barren River Lake, Green River Lake, Rough River Lake, and Carr Creek Lake.
The fee waiver requires only verbal confirmation of service, according to USACE.
The waiver covers fees for boat launch ramps and swimming beaches. The waiver does not apply to camping and camping-related services, or fees for specialized facilities such as group picnic shelters. Other agencies that manage recreation areas on USACE lands are encouraged, but not required, to offer the waiver in the areas that they manage.
“To honor the nation’s veterans, we will continue our Veterans Day tradition of inviting veterans, active and reserve service members, and their families to visit one of the thousands of USACE recreation sites throughout the country, free of day use charges,” said Col. Christopher Beck, Louisville District commander. “We encourage people of all ages to get outdoors this Veterans Day and enjoy a day of fun and relaxation available at our recreation areas.”
