Entrance fees will be required at Vicksburg National Military Park beginning Tuesday/NPS file
Beginning On Tuesday you'll need to pay an entrance fee or show an annual pass to get into Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi and Louisiana.
That requirement applies to bus groups, walkers, cyclists and joggers. The park resumed in-person collection of park entrance fees on February 8, allowing visitors to adjust to the new fee collection process. The park will be enforcing the park entrance fee starting March 1.
Also on March 1, the opening time for the park tour road will change from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. daily. This change is being made to better align with the visitor center hours.
Park passes — along with America the Beautiful: National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands passes — will be available for credit card purchase at the park entrance stations and visitor center. Cash or check payments are no longer accepted. Visitors can also purchase entrance passes online at www.recreation.gov and through the Recreation.gov app.
Starting March 1, updated park hours are as follows:
