The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently announced that 2024 state park and forest annual admission stickers and trail passes will go on sale this Friday, Nov. 24. The DNR recommends purchasing stickers by Friday, Dec. 8 to receive them before the holidays.
Resident and nonresident annual admission stickers are available online and at individual state park and forest properties via drive-up window service, self-registration kiosks, or over the phone. State trail passes are available only at individual properties or licensed vendors.
An annual sticker or a daily admission pass is required on all motor vehicles visiting state parks and recreation areas. Some state forest and trail parking areas also require the annual sticker or daily admission pass.
A state trail pass is required for all people ages 16 or older biking, in-line skating, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, or off-highway motorcycling on specific state trails. A state trail pass is not required for walking or hiking.
Both 2024 annual vehicle admission stickers and trail passes are valid from the date of purchase through Dec. 31, 2024. More information about the Wisconsin state park and forest vehicle admission sticker is available on DNR’s Vehicle Admission Sticker webpage.
