State park fees to rise Feb. 15

CAPE HENLOPEN STATE PARK — Now is the time to buy the 2015 state park pass for holders looking to save a little money, because prices are set to increase by Feb. 15.

That’s the message the division is trying to send right now, said Ray Bivens, Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control's Division of Parks and Recreation section administrator.

“There’s still time to get this year’s pass at last year’s prices,” he said.

The 2014 prices include a daily entrance fee for residents of Delaware of $3 for an inland park and $4 for an ocean park; for nonresidents it's $6 and $8. An annual pass for state parks is $27 for residents and $54 for nonresidents. An annual surf fishing tag is $65 for residents and $130 for nonresidents.
