AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of new fee areas.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act
(FLREA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Shoshone Field Office will
establish a new expanded amenity-fee program for overnight camping at
Silver Creek and Wilson Lake campgrounds; a future expanded-amenity fee
at all Magic Reservoir Campgrounds (Moonstone, Lava Creek, Lava Cove,
Myrtle Point, and Richfield Diversion) once they have been upgraded to
meet the expanded-amenity fee requirements under FLREA; and a daily or
annual expanded-amenity fee for use of BLM highly developed boat ramps
associated with Magic Reservoir (Moonstone and West Magic, and East
Magic once repaired to meet the expanded amenity-fee requirements under
FLREA).
DATES: The new fees at Silver Creek and Wilson Lake campgrounds will
take effect on September 11, 2026 and the new fees at the other

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Public Affairs Officer Heather Tiel-
Nelson, telephone: 208-736-2352; email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8de5e3e8e1fee2e3cdefe1e0a3eae2fb"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d8b0b6bdb4abb7b698bab4b5f6bfb7ae">[email protected]</span></a>. Individuals in
the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a
speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United
States should use the relay services offered within their country to
make international calls to contact Ms. Tiel-Nelson in the United
States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fees help ensure that those who recreate on
public lands make a greater, but reasonable, contribution toward
protecting and enhancing those opportunities than those who do not use
recreation opportunities.
The BLM will implement a new $20 per site per night fee for
overnight camping at Silver Creek and Wilson Lake campgrounds, located
near Carey and Hazelton, Idaho, respectively. These campgrounds include
the following amenities: tent and trailer spaces, picnic tables, access
roads, visitor protection, toilets, and fire rings. These amenities
help reduce environmental impacts and improve the experience for those
using the site. Fees will begin 6 months after this notice is
published.
The Shoshone Field Office has five other semi-developed campgrounds
at Magic Reservoir and, according to FLREA requirements, do not
currently have sufficient amenities to charge fees. These sites are
Moonstone, Lava Creek, Lava Cove, Myrtle Point, and Richfield
Diversion. Once a semi-developed campground has been upgraded and meets
FLREA's requirements of expanded amenities, fees will be charged at
those sites. The fees will begin when all the amenities are available
in the campground or 6 months after this notice is published, whichever
is later.
Magic Reservoir is located 30 miles north of Shoshone, Idaho. The
BLM will implement a $10 per day or $75 annual fee for using the BLM
boat ramps located at Magic Reservoir, Moonstone, and West Magic, and,
once repaired, East Magic.
The FLREA directs the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary
of Agriculture to publish an advance notice in the Federal Register
whenever new recreation fee areas are established under their
respective jurisdictions. In accordance with the BLM recreation-fee-
program policy, the Shoshone Field Office finalized a business plan in
2024 to establish future management goals and priorities for the
recreation-fee program. As discussed in the business plan, the
overnight camping fees for Silver Creek and Wilson Lake campgrounds and
the fees for the Magic Reservoir boat ramps are consistent with other
established fee sites for similar areas and services. The BLM has
notified and involved the public throughout this process and released
the draft business plan for a public comment period from July 25 to
August 24, 2024. The BLM presented the proposed project and the results
of the public comment period to the Idaho Resource Advisory Council
(RAC) on October 10, 2024. The RAC recommended approval of the Shoshone
Field Office business plan to the BLM Idaho State Director.
(Authority: 16 U.S.C. 6803(b))
Meagan Conry,
BLM Idaho State Director (acting).
