I couldn't say...this was my first time to Silver Lake, but I think Rick was there a few times and he was surprised by it also. *Maybe it is new. *You know the lady governer is always trying to find ways to tackle the state deficit. *

No, it's a state park. *You've needed a state park pass for all vehicles for a long time. *If you didn't have one last *year you're lucky you didn't get caught. *You can buy day or year long passes. *If you're staying a whole weekend it's smarter to buy a year long one.

vouchers are only for sat/sun and holidays, and you have had to buy a daily or have a state park sticker for the last 20 yrs.....for every motorized vehicle entering....

Fun tip, if you buy one for your truck, put it on your ball mount been doing it for a couple years now. That way if we take my brothers truck, we can put the mount on his, if we pull the trailer with mine, it goes on mine. Saves a few bucks.

You technically need the same stickers to ride baldwin, st helens, or any other state trail system.

not actually, thats what a orv sticker is for, as none of them are "state parks"....
The ball mount idea is cool, but it technicaly goes in the window..... *anyhow, sometimes you can just pull in the park lot at silver lake, and ride.....but if you dont have a sticker, its 250.00 fine....

Don't you need the state park pass and an orv sticker? I've been buying both. I've already got them for the new toy, just trying to decide where to put them. I hate stickers, so I don't want to have to stare at them.

As far as I know you only need the state park sticker if the area is a state park (Silver lake State park) Baldwin, St. Helen, Bull Gap are ride areas, but not state parks.

exactly.....
