This includes Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park, Empire Mine State Historic Park, Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, Lake Tahoe State Recreation Area and many more within Northern California.
An unexpected item could be the catalyst to your California State Park-filled, outdoorsy summer: a California library card. The California State Library Parks Pass program offers library card holders free, day-use entry to over 200 different California State Parks.

The vehicle day-use passes can be easily checked out at your local public library before you make your trip to your desired park. If you do not already have a California library card, they are free for all by signing up at your local library. However, a library card does not give you access to every state park, according to the following note on the California State Park website:
“The Parks Pass is not accepted at units operated by federal and local government, private agencies or concessionaires, state vehicular recreation areas, parks not open to the public, for per-person entry or tour fees (such as museums), or at parks that do not have day-use vehicle fees.”
Some notable parks that are not participating include the California State Railroad Museum, the Governor’s Mansion State Historic Park and Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park, among others. Popular Bay Area tourist location, Angel Island State Park, is also not participating.
The full list of parks that are not participating can be found here. In order to find local libraries and narrow down which state parks are eligible for the program at the same time, you can use this interactive map
Check-out a Parks Pass from a library (each library's website is in their info/pop-up) and then head to a state park!
