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 fee areas are established. The fees are only proposed at
this time and will be determined upon further analysis and public
comment. Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites, will help
ensure that the Forest can continue maintaining and improving
recreation sites like this for future generations.
As part of this proposal the Cottonwood, Dry Canyon, East Fork
Black's Fork, Elk Camp, National Guard, Sawmill Hollow, Unicorn Ridge,
and Vernon Reservoir Campgrounds are proposed at $10 for a three-day
pass, $20 for seven-days, and $60 for annual pass per vehicle. The
Middle Fork Blacks Group Campground is proposed at $50 per group per
night when reserved. In addition, this proposal would implement new
fees at five recreation rentals: Right Hand Fork Guard Station proposed
at $150 a night, Timpooneke Guard Station proposed at $125 a night,
Mill Creek Guard Station at $100 a night, and the Hewinta and Elk
Valley Guard Stations are proposed at $75 a night. Special Recreation
Permits are proposed for Clyde Winter, Co Op Winter, Strawberry Winter,
Lower Green Canyon, Smithfield Canyon Winter, Tony Grove Winter Sports,
and Sinks Winter trailheads for $10 for a three-day pass, $20 for
seven-days, and $60 for annual pass per vehicle.
The following day use sites are being proposed at $10 for a three-
day pass, $20 for seven-days, and $60 for annual pass per vehicle:
Cardiff Fork/Mill D North Trailhead, Causey Reservoir, Devil's Kitchen,
Donut Falls Trailhead, Dry Creek Trailhead, Fifth Water Trailhead,
Granite Rock Trailhead, Grit Mill Trailhead, Lower Grotto Trailhead,
Henry's Fork Trailhead, Jenkins Flat, Mill B Trailhead (North & South),
Monks Hollow Trailhead, Monument Trailhead, Murray Farm Trailhead,
National Guard Trailhead, Quarter Corner Trailhead, Red Ledges, Silver
Lake Recreation Complex, Skull Crack Trailhead, Soapstone Trailhead,
Spruces Winter Trailhead, Temple Quarry Trailhead, Three Forks
Trailhead, Upper Grotto Trailhead, Wheat Grass Trailhead, White Pine
Trailhead, and Yellow Pine Day Use Sites. The full suite of Interagency
passes would be honored at these day use sites.
New fees would provide increased visitor opportunities, as well as
increased staffing to address operations and maintenance needs and
enhance customer service. Once public involvement is complete, these
new fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee
prior to a final decision and implementation.
Advanced reservations for campgrounds and 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.
