State Park Passes at the Baraboo Library!
In partnership with the Friends of the Carnegie-Schadde Memorial Library in Baraboo, 80 passes for day visits to the Wisconsin State Park System are available for anyone with a library card to check out! The day passes are good for one vehicle admission to any state park, forest, or recreation area where vehicle admission is required. We are excited to support the Baraboo library and to make it easier for more households to visit our state parks. Check Out Wisconsin State Parks at Your Library!
