can you launch at treman for free with this?

[Sk8man]

I believe that it allows entry into ALL of the NY STATE Parks although they mention on their site that some of those damaged by Hurricaane Sandy are not open on Long Island...and may not be for awhile. For those of us that use the launch ramps for fishing it is quite a bargain!

[Sk8man]

I stand corrected....MOST of the parks. Treman is listed first in the list of those that the pass is good for ....here is the URL of those parks accepting it. http://www.nysparks.com/parks/park-resu ... ao=0&src=3

One of the reasons I like them is that after a long day of fishing I don't have to stop at the ticket booth to pay (assuming I get there before they open in the morning) on my way home. Also I usually use it for boat launching but if want to have a family picnic, etc. you can get in for free. Good deal, especially for $40. Looks like deal is up at midnight tonight.

NOTE: There is a quirk to the website where you transact the payment for the Pass. Make sure at the bottom of the page you indicate QUANTITY and the address you want it to go to. If you don't catch that it will keep failing to complete the transaction....a minor pain but to know in advance you can avoid it :>)

New York state park passes fly off cyber shelves, bring state $905,000 in sales

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Cyber Monday works. At least that's what the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation says after selling a record 22,636 annual passes on the online shopping day.

A $25 discount on the $65 Empire Passport boosted the sales by 5,000 percent over sales during Cyber Monday a year ago, according to the state. Last year, the state sold just 443 passports in a deal that included a $25 camping gift card with every $65 pass purchased.

This year, the one-day sale brought in $905,440. Monday's sales equaled 27 percent of all Empire Passports sold in 2011.

The passport allows single-day entries to state parks and recreational facilities.

Thanks to an alert Guff I was one of them :>)

Thanks to Guff, I took advantage of the offer, too! I started thinking of the times I didn't go to Fair Haven to fish because I didn't want to pay the $8 !! This was one heck of a deal.

Darn....I missed out. ..It used to be $59.00 but raised to 65 a few years ago..Still a bargain for me .. ..I probably launch at least 50 times a year between Cayuga and Fair Haven
