BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana Office of State Parks has launched a new program to encourage travelers to visit public lands and historic landmarks across the state, the office announced Tuesday.

The Louisiana State Parks Passport is a free program that lets visitors collect a commemorative stamp at each location they visit.

Travelers who visit all 32 state parks and historic sites can submit their completed passports to recover prizes ranging from official state park gear to a free overnight cabin or campsite stay.

“Whether hiking scenic trails, camping under the stars, paddling peaceful waterways, fishing, enjoying family recreation, or exploring Louisiana’s historic treasures, this passport makes every stop along the way special. Each passport stamp represents a new destination and a new adventure,” Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser said in a prepared statement.

Standard day-use entry fees still apply, and passports can be requested for free by visiting the Louisiana State Parks Passport website.
