The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced that beginning Jan. 1 the recreation day use fees charged for boat launches and swimming beaches managed by USACE across the country changed to a simpler fee structure. The fee for a USACE annual pass as well as special use permits also changed. These fees were last changed in 2002.

USACE conducted a national review of its fee structure earlier this year and determined that fee changes are needed to ensure USACE fees remain comparable and fair to those charged by other local providers for similar facilities and services.

The day use fee structure at USACE-managed facilities are as follows:

• Minimum day use fee of $5 will be charged per private non-commercial vehicle.

• Minimum day use fee of $2 per adult for walk-in or bike-in.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
