Day Use Permit Program

Tolay lake

Sonoma County Regional Parks is pleased to announce the expanded public access at Tolay Lake Regional Park with the Interim Plan (IP) Day-Use Permit Program.

The IP Day-Use Permit Program allows the public to visit the park during posted hours once they’ve completed an hour-long orientation and obtained a permit. Regional Parks is offering these mandatory one-hour orientations, free of charge, which cover permit procedures, and rules & regulations. After the orientation, participants receive Tolay IP Day-Use Permits, along with maps, park rules & regulations, and gate access cards. Permit holders may use the park for a variety of activities, including hiking, bicycling, picnicking, or horseback riding. Effective October through March permit holders may access the park on Saturday and Sunday from 8am to sunset. Regular day-use parking fees apply.

Current Permit Holders:

Permits will NOT expire on November 30, 2011. Your permit will remain valid & key card will remain active. Please watch your email for an annual use survey coming soon. Email tolaypermit@sonoma-county.org with questions.

The orientation will take place in a historic barn with an uneven floor surface. Should you require assistance with access to the barn please contact a staff member.
