As a reminder, most of Florida's state parks are offering free admission today, Monday, May 25, to commemorate Memorial Day.
Itās the unofficial start to summer, so Florida State Parks will be bustling with activity this weekend.
When parking lots become full, some parks may temporarily close to vehicle traffic. But you can usually still enter the park on a bicycle or by foot. If you plan to visit a park thatās usually very busy, consider walking or biking in, if possible.
