If you hunt or fish in our great state, or you’d rather visit one of our wonderful state parks like Watkins Glen State Park, you can now buy a lifetime outdoor recreation pass and never have to worry about annual renewal fees again.
The New York State Adventure License Series gives New Yorkers and visitors to our state an Adventure License. The state also unveiled nine new license plate designs in connection with the new series.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other state officials, in a recent news release, said the series and plates will enhance sporting and recreational options and boost tourism.
“As part of our ongoing efforts to promote New York as a top destination for outdoor enthusiasts and sportsmen, we are launching the NYS Lifetime Adventure License Series that will allow New Yorkers to hunt, fish and enjoy our vast state parks for the rest of their lives,” Cuomo said. “Under this program, we are creating the new Adventure License to make it easier for New Yorkers who hold these lifetime passes to travel and enjoy outdoor activities across the state, as well as new special Adventure License Plates available free to anyone who signs up for a lifetime hunting, fishing or parks license this year. With this initiative, we are growing the state’s tourism industry even further and creating jobs for communities statewide. And most of all, we are excited to offer New Yorkers and visitors the opportunity to enjoy and explore the Empire State’s great outdoors for a lifetime.”
