September 3, 4, and 5: Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend is coming up! This weekend is the big sendoff of the summer season at the park, and Point Lookout will be busy.

Park staff recommend that if you plan on visiting during the Labor Day weekend, get to the park early and have a backup plan in case the park is at capacity.
