Handbook 2309.13, chapter 30, the Forest Service will publish the

recreation fee site and proposed recreation fees in local newspapers
and other local publications for public comment. Most of the proposed
recreation fees would be spent where they are collected to enhance the
visitor experience at the proposed recreation fee site.
A proposed standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day per
vehicle and $40 per season or year per vehicle would be charged at
Prospect Bluff Historic Site. The National Forests of Florida Day Use
Pass and the America the Beautiful--the National Parks and Federal
Recreational Lands Pass would be honored at this proposed standard
amenity recreation fee site.
Expenditures of recreation fees collected at the proposed
recreation fee site would enhance recreation opportunities, improve
customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public
involvement is complete, the proposed recreation fee site and proposed
recreation fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory
Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
