2009 - Free Fishing Day at Georgia State Parks, Celebrate Public Lands Day and NHFDay
Saturday, September 26.
Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites is offering free admission on Saturday, September 26 as part of National Public Lands Day. The statewide celebration is a way to thank park visitors and volunteers for their support of outdoor recreation and historic preservation. `Our state parks and historic sites have been through a challenging year,` said Parks Director Becky Kelley. `Free Day in the Parks is our way of thanking the thousands of people who volunteer their time, spend their vacations in the parks, or even just visit for the day. Of course, while we are waiving the parking fee, voluntary contributions will help support our mission to protect, preserve and provide access to Georgia’s public green spaces.`
On Free Day in the Parks, the regular $5 parking fee will be waived, historic sites will open their doors for free, and even anglers will not need a fishing license. September 26 is also National Hunting and Fishing Day, celebrated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources at many events and locations.
