SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to
publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new
recreation fees are established.
Specifically, the Custer Gallatin National Forest will be
implementing the following new fees:
<bullet> Eldridge Cabin; $75 per night;
<bullet> Sage Creek Cabin; $65 per night;
<bullet> Falls Creek and Hells Canyon Campgrounds; $10 per night,
with an additional $5 extra vehicle fee per night.
<bullet> Battle Ridge Campground; $10 for single sites and $20 for
double sites, per night, with an additional $5 extra vehicle fee per
night (number of vehicles allowed per site varies by site capacity).
This proposal was vetted through the U.S. Forest Service, Northern
Region public involvement process, which included announcement of the
proposal in local and regional media outlets, on the Forest internet
and social media sites, and briefing of federal and local elected
officials. The results of these efforts were presented to the local
Resource Advisory Committees (RAC) for evaluation and recommendation to
implement the new fees.
Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites and services, will
help ensure the Forest can continue maintaining and improving the sites
for future generations. A market analysis of surrounding recreation
sites with similar amenities indicates the proposed fees are comparable
and reasonable.
Advanced reservations for the Eldridge and Sage Creek Cabins will
be available through <a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or by calling 1-877-444-6777.
The reservation service charges an $8.00 fee for reservations.
