Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and in addition to it being a federal holiday, it's a fee-free day at National Parks in Michigan.

So, all day today you can visit certain National Parks in Michigan completely free of charge.  It might be a good idea to take advantage of this now because Michigan Recreation Passport fees are going up in March.
