This week at league the DNR began riding around the parking lot and writing tickets for vehicles without passes. I encourage everyone to stop at the booth and look for self registration forms if no workers are present. If someone is in the booth they can sell a yearly pass for $17 as shown below:

"Vehicles: $17 when purchased at state parks, *DNR customer service centers (cash or checks only) or at the Secretary of State outside your license plate registration renewal cycle. (Recreation Passport fee + $5 convenience fee = $17)"

Car pool if you can, of course observe safe options with all the covid concerns. Message me if there will be an issue, I'll see what we can do to work around it. Thanks for your patience everyone.
