Passes & Permits
National Forests and Grasslands
Most national forest system lands are open, free of charge for
your use and enjoyment. Entrance and user fees may be charged at
some areas.
Entrance Fees
Entrance Fees are required for entering designated federal recreation
areas such as National Parks and National Monuments. Entrance fees
can be paid each time you visit or you can use a special pass, including
the Golden Eagle Pass,
Golden Age Pass,
and Golden Access Pass.
If you plan to use a specialized facility (camping, parking, boat
launch, ramps, swimming site, etc.) in the forest, you may have
to pay a USER FEE. Learn more about the Recreation
Fee Demonstration Project and specific
Fee Demo projects that charge user fees.
