The Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest continues to seek comments on a proposal to changes fees including new, increased, reduced, and eliminated at 119 developed recreation sites. 

A fee increase is also proposed for the current Forest Pass, which includes the three-day pass, seven-day pass, and annual pass.  The Forest Pass would provide access to Forest Service managed sites.  The America the Beautiful – National Parks and Federal Lands Passes will also be honored at Forest Service managed day-use site, in lieu of the three-day, seven-day, and annual passes. 

“We have received over 200 comments on the fee proposal and want to hear from others.  We recognize how important each site is to individuals and their families, as well as local communities.  These proposed new and increased fees will help keep sites maintained to a standard the public expects and provide a consistent fee structure throughout the Forest,” said Dave Whittekiend, Forest Supervisor for the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

The public is encouraged to comment on the proposed fee changes by September 7, 2022.  Comments should be sent to Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Attention: Developed Recreation Site Fee Proposal, 857 West South Jordan Parkway, South Jordan, UT 84095 or SM.FS.UWCFeeProp@usda.gov.  Comments may also be shared and a complete list of proposed developed recreation site changes can be found on  https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=85f1787bb35d4ccab7ae83cf5bc83fd8

Oral comments may be provided in person at the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest Supervisor’s office during normal business hours (Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.), by appointment, or 801-999-2103.
