When you visit one of Pennsylvania’s 121 state parks or 20 state forest districts, be sure to update your Pennsylvania State Parks & State Forests Passport so you will have a record of your adventures.

The Pennsylvania State Parks & State Forests Passport is a 135-page passport that includes maps, a history of the state’s park and forest system, a brief description and most memorable feature of each state park and forest, and additional online resources.

If you do not have a passport, you can purchase your very own at most Pennsylvania State Park offices or you can order one online at the Pennsylvania Parks & Forests Foundation’s website.

You can track your visits to Pennsylvania’s public lands by initialing your book or having it stamped at the park or forest office. We suggest adding the date, including the year, as well.

If the office is closed during your visit, some of the parks, such as Trough Creek and Canoe Creek, will have stickers available along with the other informational literature just outside the park office, so stop by anytime.

See Them All Challenge

The Pennsylvania State Parks & State Forests Passport not only guides people to our state parks and forests, but it also breaks down interest areas and challenges users to complete each area to receive recognition for their accomplishments with a special metal “dog tag” for the theme.

State Parks and Forest District GPS Coordinates

Because the GPS coordinates of all the State Park and Forest offices are included in the passport, they are easily located.
