Michigan's Recreation Passport is one way you can show your support for outdoor recreation and help preserve green spaces for future generations.

When you buy your $10 Recreation Passport, your money goes to preserve and protect locals parks, trails and historic and cultural sites in state parks. The Recreation Passport also replaces the state park sticker to get you into all 99 state parks and 1,000 boat launches.

You can get your Recreation Passport when you renew your license plate online, by mail, at Self Service Stations, at a Secretary of State office or when getting a new plate. Save time, renew online!

Did you buy your Recreation Passport?

In order to maximize the $10 you spent, we didn't design and produce a special sticker. By displaying a "P" on your license plate tab, the state made the most efficient use of your dollars and will be able to invest more of the $10 you spent on the Recreation Passport in state parks, recreation areas and boat launches. Your $10 also helps preserve forest campgrounds and trails, historic and cultural sites in state parks, and parks in your own community. Follow this link to see a larger view showing the "P" on the tab and the "Recreation Passport" on the license registration.

Depending on the park you visit, a park ranger may be staffing the entrance booth and ask if you have the Recreation Passport. If you do, you'll be waved on through. If there is no one at the booth because rangers are working in other areas of the park, please drive right in. Someone will be checking vehicles in the campground and parking lots to ensure the Recreation Passport "P" is displayed on all license tabs.

Don't worry if you haven't yet purchased your Recreation Passport; you can get one at any Michigan state park!
