In celebration of National Public Lands Day, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area will offer free park entrance on Saturday, September 26. The fee waiver includes entrance fees only. To honor National Public Lands Day, all units of the National Park Service that charge entrance fees are participating.
A safe and enjoyable park visit starts at home. Plan your visit by checking a park’s website and social media platforms for updates about current conditions and important safety guidelines. We encourage visitors to practice Leave No Trace principles, Recreate Responsibly and pack essential items like water, face coverings and hand sanitizer. Visitors are encouraged to know and follow guidelines for desert and boating safety. Life jackets save lives and anyone recreating on the water is advised to wear them, including users of kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.

Visitors to Glen Canyon use a variety of watercraft on Lake Powell. Because quagga mussels have been confirmed both above and below the Glen Canyon Dam, to contain this exotic invasive species all boaters must clean, drain, and dry their boats and all equipment after contact with these waters. Specific information about applicable state laws is available for Utah and Arizona.
There are many ways to participate in National Public Lands Day. Find all the information needed to plan your next adventure here. The last opportunity in 2020 for free park entrance will occur on Nov. 11, in celebration of Veteran’s Day.
