The Discover Pass offers you access to millions of acres of state recreation lands in Washington, including: More than 100 developed state parks More than 350 primitive recreation sites, including campgrounds and picnic areas Nearly 700 water-access points Nearly 2,000 miles of designated water and land recreation trails More than 80 natural areas More than 30 wildlife areas The Washington State Legislature and Governor created the Discover Pass in 2011 to offset steep reductions in general tax support for parks and other recreation lands and facilities operated by Washington State Parks, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Today, when you buy the Discover Pass, you are helping to keep the state’s wonderful outdoor recreation sites open and accessible to the public.
