Angeles National Forest Fees Waived For MLK Weekend

The U.S. Forest Service is waiving fees for trailheads and day use sites for hiking, fishing and recreational sites for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend.

In honor of the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday weekend, the Angeles National Forest will waive fees at trailheads and U.S. Forest Service-managed day use sites for hiking, fishing and other recreational pursuits.   

“To honor a great champion of civil rights, the normally required National Forest Adventure Pass will be waived this weekend. We are working to ensure as many visitors as possible can experience the numerous recreational opportunities the Angeles National Forest  has to offer,” said Forest Supervisor Thomas A. Contreras.   

Though the pass fee has been waived for Saturday through Monday, campground, reservation, group-site and concession fees may still be in effect.
