LBL Honors Veterans on Veterans Day

Land Between the LakesGolden Pond, KY — Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area will join public lands across the nation in honoring veterans on Veterans Day, Thursday, November 11th, with a one-day free entrance or user fee waiver at designated facilities.

Land Between The Lakes will offer veterans, active and retired members of the armed forces, and their families free entrance into the Elk & Bison Prairie (EBP), Woodlands Nature Station (NS), The Homeplace (HP), and the 1:00pm show (does not include special events) at Golden Pond Planetarium.  Veterans can pick up their free entry passes for the EBP at the Golden Pond Visitors Center (GPVC) on November 11th from 9:00am-5:00pm.  Also on November 11th, a one-day free vehicle permit will be issued for Turkey Bay Off-Highway Vehicle Area and a free daily trailer permit at Wranglers Campground.

During the fee waiver day, veterans can also pick up a coupon at NS, HP, or GPVC for a “buy one, get one free” return visit for ages 13 and up.  The return visit coupon, which expires May 31st, 2011, will be good for a future one-time admission to either NS or HP.

Whether you take a drive through the Elk & Bison Prairie, wander around the backyard at Nature Station, learn about life on the farm in the 1850s at The Homeplace, ride the trails on an ATV at Turkey Bay, or enjoy a trail ride on horseback at Wranglers, fall is a wonderful time to get outdoors and enjoy recreating at Land Between The Lakes!
