WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – A 12-month entrance pass concept will be implemented at the Wisconsin State Park System, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said Monday.
Sales of the new 12-month entrance permits will start on Monday, December 2. Instead of expiring on December 31st, the new pass model is valid for 12 months after the month of purchase. Purchased in December 2024, the 2025 passes will remain valid until January 2026.
“With this new 12-month pass model, we hope that our customers are encouraged to spend more time outdoors enjoying Wisconsin’s beautiful public lands,” said Steve Schmelzer, DNR Parks and Recreation Management Director in a DNR news release. “This is a great opportunity to plan a visit to a place you’ve never been before. There are tons of ways to make the most of your full 12 months of exploring.”
Daily and 12-month rates are included in the vehicle admission fees. Vehicles with Wisconsin license plates pay $28 for a 12-month admittance pass, while vehicles with out-of-state registration plates pay $38. Additional car passes are available for $15.50 for in-state plates and $20.50 for out-of-state plates if multiple vehicles are registered to the same household.
