November 9, 2021 – Many recreation areas and other venues in the National Forests and Grasslands in Texas will be free to the public on November 11 in honor of Veterans Day.
“We honor our veterans each Veterans Day and every other day of the year,” said Acting Forest Supervisor Kimpton Cooper. “We hope that this time will serve as a way for our veterans and other visitors to find our national forests and grasslands as a place where they can take time out for themselves.”

- Angelina National Forest: Caney Creek and Townsend.
