Fees Proposed for National Parks and Federal Lands
The Clinton administration proposes charging recreation and entrance fees at currently free federal lands including national parks and forest sites to raise nearly $58 million for maintenance. Fees would rise for Golden Eagle and annual passes, with vehicle entry expanding to most parks and backcountry camping and boat launches becoming paid sites. Critics say grazing and mining fees should also rise and target commercial users more.
