TULSA — The Tulsa District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will be participating in a nationwide campaign to waive day use fees for veterans. Active and reserve component service members and their families may take advantage of the fee waiver at all of the District’s operated recreation areas on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.

The fee waiver requires only verbal confirmation of service. The waiver covers fees for boat launch ramps and swimming beaches. The waiver does not apply to camping and camping-related services, or fees for specialized facilities such as group picnic shelters. Other agencies that manage recreation areas on USACE lands are encouraged, but not required, to offer the waiver in the areas that they manage.

The Tulsa District operates some 238 parks with 5,987 campsites, 51 improved swimming beaches, and 223 boat ramps. There are also concession areas and 176 parks operated by other government or private agencies at our lakes. Tulsa District’s 38 projects are located throughout Oklahoma, into southern Kansas and northern Texas.
