The Federal Recreational Lands Pass, also known as the America the Beautiful Pass, has three versions, an Annual Pass available to anyone, a Senior Pass for those 62+, and an Access Pass for the disabled. Click here for more information on the America the Beautiful Pass.

The Senior Pass and Access Pass must be obtained directly at a federal site. For the convenience of the public, we have made arrangements to issue them from our temporary offices during our closure period.

Our normal office hours are Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Please call before coming to verify that someone will be available to assist you and issue the pass on that day. Our telephone number is 716-884-0095.

Parking is on-street meter parking on Delaware Avenue. Our temporary offices are located at:

625 Delaware Avenue

Suite 450 

This is two doors south (toward downtown) from the Inaugural Site.

Unfortunately, we cannot issue the Annual Pass at this time. However, it can be obtained online at
