San Bernardino National Forest Proposes New Recreation Fee Site
On November 22, the US Forest Service issued a notice in the Federal Register indicating that the San Bernardino National Forest is proposing a new recreation fee site. Federal law requires the Forest Service to provide six months advance notice prior to the establishment of such sites.
From the notice: A standard amenity recreation fee of $5 per day per vehicle would be charged at Big Pine Flat Off-Highway Vehicle Staging Area. The Adventure Pass and the America the Beautiful—the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass would be honored at this standard amenity recreation fee site.
Expenditures from recreation fee revenues collected at the new recreation fee site would enhance recreation opportunities, improve customer service, and address maintenance needs. Once public involvement is complete, the new fee will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.
