Day Use Fees
The Corps of Engineers was given the authority by the Congress to collect Day Use fees as part of deficit reduction legislation the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. The funds generated from these fees are used to help pay the operation and maintenance costs in the Corps' recreation program.
- A fee of $1 per person, but not more than $4 per vehicle, is charged at developed swimming beaches.
- A fee of $3 is charged at selected boat launching ramps that have additional amenities.
- The maximum Day Use fee to any one vehicle per day is $4.
- There are no day use fees for children under 12 years.
