UNDATED - The Department of Natural Resources has raised the price of the Recreation Passport. Effective January 2nd, 2013, the cost of the Passport goes up $1, from $10 to $11 annually. The Recreation Passport is required for vehicles entering Michigan’s state parks, recreation areas, and forest campgrounds.
The increase is based on a statutory requirement built into the 2010 legislation that created the Recreation Passport. It says the purchase price of the Passport must keep pace with inflation. Every year, the state treasurer will evaluate changes in the consumer price index and make a recommendation accordingly.
