When did it become a license? I always thought it was a permit.

The 2017 annual park entrance license for South Dakota's state parks and recreation areas will be available for purchase Oct. 1.

Your 2017 park entrance license is valid from Oct. 1, 2016, through May 18, 2018. An annual park entrance license is $30. Purchasers of one license can also buy a second at half price. The license is required for entrance into designated state parks, recreation areas and lakeside use areas, although it does not cover camping costs or additional fees.

Entrance licenses can be purchased online at campsd.com, at local state park offices or by calling the SD Division of Parks and Recreation at 605.773.3391.
