Empire Pass Card

New For 2017: The Empire Pass Card

A new wallet-sized Empire Pass Card that can be shared within a household is now available. It’s a family-friendly alternative to the traditional window decal, and not assigned to a specific vehicle. The new card can be used by parents, grandparents, caregivers and others.

Whether a card or a decal, the Empire Pass is your key to all-season enjoyment at New York State Parks. It provides unlimited day-use vehicle entry to most facilities operated by New York State Parks and the State Dept. of Environmental Conservation including forests, beaches, trails and more. Learn where the Empire Pass is Accepted.

Empire Passes are available for different lengths of time: choose from one year, multi-year or lifetime.

Please refer to the Empire Pass Card Guidelines for Use, Empire Pass Decal Guidelines for use and the Empire Pass Frequently Asked Questions for pass replacement, volume sales and other important information.
