Thanks for the heads up Split'. I find it interesting that with all the doom & gloom in NYS and the state budget is about to explode they go and spend $11 mill on parks :shock: . Similiar to the mid 90's when Dean's and Long Point were rebuilt. With all the pissing & moaning about NYS one really can't **** about our parks.

Thought I'd post this link for those of you that use State launch facilities and may not be aware of this park pass.

It's for the "Empire Passport" which cost $59.00 for the season. The pass gives you unlimited entry to most State recreational facilities.

The launch fee last year was $7.00 if the park has swimming available and $6.00 if not. Not sure if the rates will be raised this year. After 8-9 launches your money ahead for the year.

You can order one online or at any State Park Office when the are open.
