TOPEKA (KSNT) – If you’re looking to escape the shopping rush on Black Friday this year, try checking out one of Kansas’ many state parks.
The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) said in a social media post that every state park in Kansas will have free admission on Friday, Nov. 24 for those wanting to get a more nature-driven experience the day after Thanksgiving. People are also encouraged to use #OptOutside and #MyKsStatePark on social media with a selfie taken at one of the state parks for a chance to win a free cabin stay.
Kansas has a total of 28 state parks, with the newest at Lehigh Portland Trails being added to the list earlier this year. To check out a list of which state parks see the most traffic annually, click here.
