In 2010, HB 1620 was passed and signed into law establishing a special registration plate to benefit the New Hampshire State Park System. The NH State Parks Plate is available for purchase at Town Clerk offices.
It is recommended that Visitors with NH State Parks License Plates make online reservations as well.
When making a reservation you can select your pass/plate type and the admission or parking fee will be removed. Plate holders will still be charged a $1 transaciton fee to use the online reservation system.
