Park Pass Information
The Lakeshore is a designated fee area; people who recreate in the park must obtain an entrance pass. Passes are good for entry into all areas of the Lakeshore, such as the Dune Climb, Scenic Drive, beaches, lakes, museums, and trails. The Lakeshore asks visitors to show their pass to Park Rangers at the entrance stations at the Dune Climb and Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, or place it on their vehicle dashboard if in an NPS parking lot/trailhead or along a road in the Lakeshore. Those few visitors who park outside the Lakeshore boundary and recreate in the park on foot, boat, or bicycle should carry their pass with them. The NPS offers convenient locations for visitors to purchase a park pass. Click here for more details on fees.
