A lifetime state park entrance permit is free if you have a service-connected disability rating of 50 percent or more or you are a former prisoner of war. Surviving spouses of veterans who had a rating of 50 percent or more are eligible too. If your rating is under 50 percent you can buy an annual entrance permit for $28.
