FYI, There is a pass seniors can get.(over age 62) The state has a "Golden Park pass" which I have which is free that is good Mon.-Fri. at all state launches & parks for free launching & enterance to the parks across the state. They also have an "Empire Pass" for $65 a yr. That is good for the same as above & week ends. For the Vets. they have a "Liberty Pass" which is free to disabled Vets that is good for all of the above! I think they all include camping in the state parks also. There are 178 state parks across the state.
