Recreation Passport fee to rise in 2024

LANSING, MI— The cost of Michigan’s Recreation Passport is going up next year.

Residents will pay $14 for the Passport, a dollar more than this year.

The change is the result of a statutory provision that ensures Recreation Passport funding keeps pace with the economy.

The Passport provides year-round vehicle access to 103 Michigan state parks and recreation areas, 1,300-plus state-managed boating access sites, 140 state forest campgrounds, and parking at thousands of miles of trails and other outdoor spaces.

The new rate takes effect January 1st.
