New York Empire Pass

Can not find anything on the ways to use the Empire Pass and what are the benefits or fees here. thinking of a Seaway Trail trip
  • From the web page, it has no savings on camping fees. In New York state parks, you don't have to pay the vehicle entrance fee when camping; it's basically just part of the campground charge. If you're planning on visiting a lot of parks for day use, it may be worth the money; but if you're planning on camping, it probably isn't worthwhile to purchase.
  • If you're camping at one NY State Park campground, your vehicle pass is often good for free entry into nearby state parks as well.

    This is true
  • If you like old boats make time to see the Clayton, NY Boat Museum. https://www.google.com/search?q=clayton+ny+boat+museum&oq=clayton+ny+b&aqs=chrome.2.0l6.10859j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
