S. 327, the “Wounded Veterans Recreation Act,” which authorizes the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture to issue a lifetime National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass without charge to veterans with service-connected disabilities.


There is a free pass for national parks and other federal public lands that have an entrance fee of some kind for disabled citizens regardless of what their disability is or what it is. Active duty and their families also have free access. These passes also cover entrance for up to three additional people and/or all passengers in a private passenger car.
