and the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities
There's still some time left this summer to enjoy the great outdoors! And now, people with disabilities can enjoy federal recreation sites for free.
When you visit a federal recreation site, just present some documentation of disability status and ask for the free Access Pass. Documentation includes a physician's statement, or a document issued by a State or Federal agency like the Veteran's Administration, Social Security Disability Income, Supplemental Security Income, or a vocational rehabilitation agency. This pass gives you and three adults free admission to federal recreation sites around the country, and it's good for life!
For more details, or to find a recreation site, visit the National Park Service's Web site: http://www.nps.gov/fees_passes.htm and http://www.nps.gov/findapark/index.htm . If clicking the links does not work, copy and paste the links into your browser's address bar.
Have fun out there!
