The Recreation Passport replaces the long-used window sticker system, or Motor Vehicle Permit, for state park and boat launch entrance. The Recreation Passport represents a 58 percent savings over the current annual state park and boat launch window sticker, which costs $24. Camping fees still apply.
To get a Recreation Passport, motorists can add $10 at the time they renew their license plate tabs. Motorcyclists have the option of paying $5. The money will be used to support state parks, state forest campgrounds, state boat launches, non-motorized trails and historical and cultural sites in state parks. A portion of the funds will also be used to support local parks through a new grant program. Learn more about the Recreation Passports on the DNRE website
