Get a ParkPass
Daily ParkPass
The Daily ParkPass is valid at all state parks visited the same day, and overnight guests pay only one fee for the duration of their stay. Upon arrival, state park visitors can purchase a Daily ParkPass by paying a parking fee of $3* (per vehicle). The parking fee is $4 at Tallulah Gorge. Since the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Areas, Stone Mountain, Corps of Engineers lakes, Jekyll Island and Lake Lanier are not state parks, they are not covered by the ParkPass.
Annual ParkPass
Frequent park visitors can save money with a $30 Annual ParkPass that exempts them from paying the daily parking fee. To purchase an Annual ParkPass, visit any state park office or call 770-389-7401 or send an email with your name, address and daytime phone number to: Jeannene_Woodruff@dnr.state.ga.us.
Historic Site Annual Pass
History buffs can save money with the purchase of a Historic Site Annual Pass. This pass gives unlimited admission to all of Georgia’s 15 state historic sites. Admission varies from $1.50 to $7 depending on the site. Passes may only be bought at a historic site and are $35 per family (limit 6 people), $20 per adult and $15 per youth (17 and younger). Senior citizen discounts are not available on Historic Site Annual Passes.

ParkPass Loan Program
Any Georgian who holds a valid library card can borrow a Georgia State Park "ParkPass" and Historic Site Pass from their local libraries. The passes are good for free parking or admission at any of the 63 parks and historic sites statewide for up to five days. Because of the expected popularity of the ParkPass loaner program, families interested in borrowing a ParkPass from their local public libraries are advised to plan early, as supplies of the ParkPass are limited. Contact your local library for more information.
* Exceptions: Organized school groups, diners in lodge restaurants and attendees of day-long lodge meetings are exempt. Golfer parking is included in greens fees. Large vans with a capacity of 13 to 30 passengers pay $20 per day or may purchase an Annual ParkPass for $50. Buses or motorcoaches with a capacity of more than 30 passengers pay $50 per day or may purchase an annual pass for $200. However, those vehicles carrying overnight guests pay only the regular daily parking fees.
