Set your 2026 outdoor adventure goals with a California State Parks annual pass! As California celebrates its 175th anniversary, the State Parks system is offering special edition passes featuring a commemorative logo honoring 175 years of statehood and 250 years of U.S. independence. These passes provide access to an incredible variety of parks—from beaches and redwood forests to mountains, lakes, off-highway vehicle parks, and historic sites.
Passes can be purchased online at store.parks.ca.gov or in person at many state park locations, district and sector offices. Be sure to call ahead to confirm availability. Gift cards are also available online, making the perfect gift for nature lovers.
Discount passes, including those for disabled visitors and distinguished veterans, require an application and can be obtained online, by mail, or in person. Plumas-Eureka State Park in Plumas County offers both the disabled discount pass and the veteran pass pilot program. Visit or call 530-836-2380 for more information about hours and pass availability.
