Begin buying 2026 Game and Parks permits Nov. 15

Don’t wait to begin buying Nebraska Game and Parks Commission permits for the upcoming year.

The 2026 annual hunt (small game), fishing, fur harvest and state park entry permits are available online, at district offices and state park areas beginning Nov. 15. These permits are valid Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2026.

A Nebraska vehicle park entry permit is an affordable way to have fun outdoors. Access more than 75 state park, recreation areas and state historical parks for an entire year or explore miles of trails, watch wildlife and get in touch with nature. Find your first at OutdoorNebraska.gov/Parks/Find-a-Park.

Hunt, fishing and fur harvest permits are valid statewide and provide an array of opportunities across Nebraska’s landscape. View the 2025-2026 Small Game and Waterfowl Guide and 2025 Fishing Guide at OutdoorNebraska.gov to discover available possibilities.

Spending time outdoors is good for one’s physical and mental well-being, and it’s an investment in Nebraska’s natural resources for the future.

Age and residency restrictions apply to some permits. Stamps also may be required. For more information on permits, including how to purchase them, visit OutdoorNebraska.gov or a Game and Parks office.
