The Wisconsin DNR, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, and libraries across the state are making it easier to visit Wisconsin state parks, forests, and recreation spots.
The program lets participating library card holders check out a day pass for state parks and forests. Also available at some location is an informational kit of state park system materials including maps, stickers, and accessibility information.
