How it Works

The Adventure Backpack with the letter pass must be presented at the entrance gate.

The letter pass admits all persons accompanying the user in a single, private family-type vehicle. The pass will be accepted at any state park property, including holidays and weekends.

The letter provides entrance to the park. It does not cover additional fees such as camping, use of swimming pools, or fishing licenses. It does not provide entrance to state museums, the Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center or other state attractions.

The Adventure Backpack must be returned in person with the pass and all contents.

 Adventure Backpacks check out for one week.
