For a limited time, patrons of the Scandinavia Public Library can pick up a free vehicle Park Pass for Wisconsin's State Parks! The Park Pass is valid for a one-day, one-vehicle visit to a state park, forest, or recreation area.

The Wisconsin State Park System is comprised of our 50 state parks, 9 recreation areas, 15 state forests, and 44 state trails. There are over 6,500 campsites across this system, plus over 500 boat access sites, 700 miles of equestrian trail, and thousands of miles of hiking, biking, and water trails.

From the forested Northwoods to the glacially formed Lake Michigan coast to the Driftless region and down to the southern border, Wisconsin has something for everyone. The Wisconsin State Park System offers a wide variety of activities for all abilities and interests. Established hiking trails, campsites, and fishing holes complement activities like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and mountain biking. There are self-guided nature trails, picnic shelters, playgrounds, and concession and restroom amenities at many locations while some spots remain undeveloped and open to exploration by boat or foot.

When picking up your Park Pass, you must tell the librarian the date you are planning to use your pass. If necessary, a window of three consecutive days can be provided, but the Park Pass will be valid for only one of the days within that window.

Park Passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The number of Park Passes available from the Scandinavia Public Library is limited. Only one Park Pass per family per month.
