Recreation Fee changes proposed for WNC national forests

The U.S. Forest Service is proposing to change fees at three recreation areas on the Nantahala and Pisgah national forests in North Carolina.

The public is invited to provide input to proposed fee changes through Oct. 5, 2026.

While the Forest Service uses recreation fees for maintenance and im-proving visitor experiences, most recreation sites on the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests do not require a fee. The Forest Service will continue to honor all nationally recognized fee-free days.
