Annual Passes
Good at any Forest Service, National Park, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation and US Fish and Wildlife Service sites that charge an entrance or standard amenity fee. Concessionaires may or may not honor any of the Interagency Passes, according to the terms of their current permit.
Annual Passes have gotten an upgrade!
The Annual Pass, as a part of the America the Beautiful Pass series, will be available November 20, 2025, at 12pm ET through Recreation.gov in a new, digital format. With this new enhancement, you can now store, manage, and access your Digital Annual Pass all from your Recreation.gov account, mobile app, or mobile wallet, making your trips to Superior National Forset that much easier!
This transformation is part of a larger commitment across all federal land management agencies to improve public access to public lands, and we are hard at work to make navigating these changes as smooth as possible for our visitors.
