SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act

visitor experience at the proposed recreation fee sites.
A proposed expanded amenity recreation fee of $10 per night would
be charged for Golden Gate, Yellow Pine, Ice Hole, Penn Basin, Picnic
Point, Evans Creek, Ice Springs, and Spillway Campgrounds. A proposed
expanded amenity recreation fee of $20 per night would be charged for
Little Roaring River Lake and Deer Creek Campgrounds. A proposed
expanded amenity recreation fee of $40 per night is proposed for double

recreation fee of $150 per night for groups of up to 100 people would

expanded amenity recreation fee of $100 per night would be charged for
rental of Landmark South, Landmark West, and Atlanta Host Cabins, an
expanded amenity recreation fee of $80 per night would be charged for
rental of the Landmark Forester Cabin, and an expanded amenity
recreation fee of $60 per night would be charged for rental of

A proposed standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day and $30
for an annual pass per vehicle would be charged at French Creek Boat
Launch, Deer Creek Boat Launch at Anderson Reservoir, Rainbow Point
