Nemaha NRD Free Park Weekend

By Submitted

05/20/2016

(KLZA)-- Nemaha Natural Resources District officials have set May 21st and –22nd as Free Park Permit Weekend at three of its public recreation areas: Kirkman’s Cove near Humboldt, Iron Horse Trail Lake near DuBois, and Wirth Brothers Lake near Tecumseh.

Though a vehicle permit issued by the Nemaha NRD is required at these parks, the NRD board has proclaimed this weekend every year as a free weekend. Visitors have an opportunity to try out the parks at no cost for these two days and perhaps decide if they wish to purchase a permit for future visits.

Annual permits cost $12; or temporary, two-day permits are available for $5. Temporary permits are available at each park from iron collection boxes near the main entrances. Annual permits may be purchased in a variety of ways: at the NRD office east of Tecumseh weekdays from 8-4:30; through the mail by first calling (335-3325) and requesting an application or by printing one from the NRD’s website, www.nemahanrd.org; or through the same temporary permit envelopes available at the parks. Just mark the appropriate section and insert $12 in the envelope; your permit will be mailed to you within two weeks.

Keep in mind that electrical hookup fees for camping are still required during this weekend.
