2025 PASSES/PERMITS ARE VALID JANUARY 1, 2025 - DECEMBER 31, 2025
(2025 passes/permits will be available for purchase starting November 1, 2024. Current calendar year (2024) permits may be purchased at the property level only at this time as they expire on January 1, 2025.)
Every tax dollar you pay is divided to support a wide variety of state services. Only a small percentage of each tax dollar is appropriated to the DNR. User fees currently pay about 91 percent of state park operational costs. Appropriations from the State’s General Fund pay the other 9 percent. That 9 percent translates to about 53 cents per Hoosier in taxes each year for day-to-day state park operations.

Your receipt cannot be used in lieu of the actual permit. All orders are shipped within 5-7 business days.
