The Maryland Department of Natural Resources announced state resident first responders and law enforcement officers will receive a $40 discount for an Annual State Park and Trail Passport. The passport, which allows unlimited day-use entry for all of Maryland’s state parks and park facilities for one year, is otherwise available for $75 for in-state residents. This discount is available to Maryland residents who serve as law enforcement officers, EMTs, firefighters, and similar emergency personnel. The annual pass offers unlimited day-use admission for everyone in a single vehicle, up to 10 people,  to Maryland’s state parks and facilities, unlimited boat launching at all applicable state park facilities, and a 10% discount on state-operated concession items and boat rentals.  Park passes may be purchased at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources online store. To be eligible for the discounted price of $35, the purchaser will be required to present identification or other credentials as a first responder along with proof of Maryland residency.
