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 Buckhorn Work Center group site is
proposed at $200 per day for a group size of 100 people. In addition,
this proposal would implement new fees at seven recreation rentals:
Corral Park Cabin for $100 per night; Buckhorn Assistant Ranger,
Buckhorn Office, and Buckhorn Bunkhouse Cabin for $150 per night or
$100 per night during winter; Redfeather Assistant Ranger Cabin and
Buckhorn Ranger Cabin for $175 per night or $125 per night during
winter; and the Redfeather Ranger Cabin for $200 per night or $150 per
night during winter.
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 the Rocky Mountain Regional Office prior
to a final decision and implementation.
Advanced reservations 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.
