Thank you for purchasing an annual permit from one of our Electronic Pay Stations. The pay station receipt serves as a temporary permit and must be redeemed for a physical permit (sticker, plastic, metal) within 30 days using one of the three methods below.
Read all steps fully.
It may be helpful to set up an account in our Online Reservation and Permit System. Once it's set up, note your username, exit the online system, and continue with the steps above to email us.
If you do not set one up, our staff will set one up for you using your email address as the username and your 10-digit phone number as the password. If you try to create an account and it says the phone # or email is already in use, we may have created an account for you in the past. Try logging in using your email as the username and your 10-digit phone number as the password (no hyphens). Need more help? Visit our reservation system Frequently Asked Questions webpage.
Fill out the information on the receipt and bring the receipt to the Dane County Parks Office at 5201 Fen Oak Dr, Madison, WI 53718 during normal business hours and exchange it for a physical permit. Please call ahead if you would like assurance that staff will be available when you arrive.
