Beginning October 1, 2010, the $10 Recreation Passport from the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources and Environment will replace the state
park sticker to provide access to all state parks and recreation areas,
including:
* All 98 state parks and recreation areas
* 133 state forest campgrounds
* Nearly 1,000 miles of hiking, biking and skiing trails
* More than 1,000 boat launches
* Historic and cultural sites in state parks
What’s more, 10% of all funds from the DNRE Recreation Passport will be
directed to county, city and township parks through grant-funding. When
you opt-in to the Recreation Passport, you are not only supporting the
beautiful natural resources managed by the DNRE, but contributing
towards an additional funding source for local parks.
To get your Recreation Passport, simply check “YES” on your license
plate renewal form.
MRPA encourages all Association members, partners, outdoor enthusiasts
and recreation advocates to take advantage of this $10 opportunity, and
tell your friends and family to do the same. It’s only $10…and a good
deal for you means a GREAT deal to future generations.
