SACRAMENTO, Calif. — On Wednesday, November 11, the Bureau of Reclamation will honor Veterans Day by waiving day use fees for U.S. citizens at its directly managed recreation areas at New Melones Lake, Lake Berryessa, and Stony Gorge Reservoir.
Veterans Day honors the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces and recognizes their sacrifices in defense of the nation. The observance provides an opportunity to reflect on the service and dedication of America’s veterans while enjoying the public lands and waters they helped protect.
All other fees, including overnight camping, boat launching, and concession-managed area fees, will still apply.
