National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands Pass:
Disabled Veterans are eligible for the National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands Pass. These passes provide free entrance to more than 2,000 national parks, wildlife refuges, national forests, and other federal recreational areas managed by US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Forrest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service and the Bureau of Reclamation.
To apply for the passes, disabled veterans should secure proof of permanent disability such as a rating decision letter, a VA Healthcare Card noting service connected status, or some
other means, and bring that information in person to a participating federal
recreation site or office.
