Free Admission to National Parks on Saturday
Maryland's parks include popular autumnal destinations, historic sites and a seashore.
In honor of National Public Lands Day a number of national parks are offering free admission—including the popular autumnal destination of Shenandoah National Park and the nearby Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park—according to the U.S. National Park Service.
On Sept. 29, visitors will have the $15 entrance fee waived at the park and can enjoy a hike along the waterfalls, a bike ride on the trails and even some photography of wildlife or the changing leaves.
