Show your work.
Passlands exists because the honest answer to “does my pass work here?” is often “it depends” — and no one was willing to say so. We'd rather show what we actually know, how we know it, and when we last checked.
How we source each site
Every determination starts from an official agency source — a park's fee page, an agency pass program, or the federal recreation database. Where an agency states the pass is accepted and what it covers, we mark it Confirmed and link the page. Where a site charges a fee the pass normally covers but we can't confirm it directly, we mark it Likely and tell you to verify on site. Where it's ambiguous, seasonal, or concessionaire-run, we mark it Check and point you straight at the source.
Where the data comes from
- National Park Service Data API — park details, fees, and photos.
- Recreation.gov (RIDB) — recreation areas and activities across all six agencies.
- Individual agency fee pages and pass programs, cited per site.
Found something wrong?
We want to know. Fees change, gates change, and we miss things. If a site's answer is out of date or incorrect, tell us and we'll fix it — with a fresh source and a new verified date.
