Recreation Day Use Fee ProgramIn 1993, Congress authorized the Corps of Engineers to expand its Recreation Day Use Fee Program to include the collection of day use fees at recreation areas with developed boat ramps or swimming beaches. These fees are deposited in a special U.S. Treasury account and later returned to the Corps, as a budget offset, and not as additional funds for project operations. Day use fees help recover only a portion of the costs associated with operating, maintaining and improving Corps of Engineers recreation facilities.The Corps of Engineers is the Nation's Largest Provider of Recreation!
Daily FeePayment of the daily use fee, which ranges from $1 to $4, allows you to use all similar Corps day use facilities on that day. Just save your permit and show it when you return or visit another area on the same day. A staffed fee booth or self-registration depository is available for payment of daily use fees. Please have exact change when you visit to help keep the lines and your wait short. If you are staying at one of the Corps of Engineer Campgrounds here at Saylorville Lake you do not have to pay the daily fee for use of the boat ramps or beach areas. Just present your current vehicle camping pass (hang camping pass with valid date visible from rearview mirror) and enjoy all day use areas free of charge. Annual Fee/Pass*If you are a frequent visitor, you may wish to purchase the annual pass for $30. The annual pass allows unlimited, nation-wide use of all Corps day use fee areas for 12 months from the date of purchase. The pass is in the form of a hangtag, which will be hung from the rear view mirror. Decals on the hangtag will display the month and year the pass is valid through. The hangtag may be used on any vehicle that is registered to the pass holder.
