“Visitors planning to buy a Pictured Rocks Annual Pass may want to do so before the price goes up. Passes bought this December at the current price of $20 will be good through next December,” said Susan Reece, Chief of Interpretation.
Weekly and annual passes can only be bought online at the present time. Purchase passes at www.recreation.gov/sitepass/pictured-rocks-nl. Purchasers will have immediate access to the digital pass, which can be easily downloaded to a phone or tablet. The pass will also be emailed as a PDF to the purchaser and can be printed for display before visiting the park.
Park fees are essential to help maintain 63 front-country campsites, 22 backcountry camping areas, more than a dozen historic structures, 100 miles of trails, as well as roads, parking lots, restrooms, water systems, bridges, and 86 park buildings. Fees also fund seasonal work positions and special projects, such as designing and installing new wayside exhibits, creating park content for the NPS mobile app, and renovating a backcountry cabin that the public will be able to rent in the future.
