Try before you buy

We know that every dollar matters and we want to make sure you love recreating on state lands before you commit to the cost of a year-long pass. If you buy a day pass for $10 and love your day outdoors, you can upgrade to an annual pass for an additional $35.

Bring your day pass to any state park or state park’s headquarters for an upgrade to an annual pass. Expiration date of the annual pass will be based on the purchase date of the day pass. This upgrade cannot be used with a day pass purchased via fee envelope at the park.
