Visitors to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (National Lakeshore) can now purchase digital seven-day entrance passes online.
Park visitors can visit www. Recreation.gov/pass to purchase their entrance pass at no additional cost. Once purchased, passes are emailed and can be used immediately. The digital pass can be purchased up to six months ahead of arrival. Visitors should print the pass prior to their arrival. People can place the printout on their vehicle dashboard at unstaffed locations like trailheads and beach accesses.
Physical passes can still be purchased at these spots throughout the park, but the digital pass creates an additional option for those who do not plan to visit a staffed location. They also provide an opportunity for visitors to easily obtain their park admission when fee staff are not present.
