Fee-free day for Tonto, others
Posted
Tonto National Forest joins other federal agencies in offering a fee-free day on Saturday, June 14, to celebrate National Get Outdoors Day.
The remaining 2014 fee-free days honored by national forests are:
• Sept. 27, National Public Lands Day
• Nov. 8-11, Veterans Day Weekend
Traditionally, fees are not charged on 98 percent of national forests and grasslands, and approximately two-thirds of developed recreation sites in national forests and grasslands can be used for free.
This includes opportunities such as camping and picnicking.
Day-use fees will be waived at all standard amenity fee sites operated by the forest for these listed dates. Camping and campground fees are not waived.
During all other times, the Tonto Pass is required at more than 50 recreation sites including Salt and Verde river locations, boat launch ramps, swimming areas, day use areas and campgrounds.
A list of Tonto Pass vendor locations is available at the Tonto National Forest website, www.fs.usda.gov/tonto, or call the Tonto National Forest at 602-225-5200.
