The
Northwest Forest Pass is a per vehicle pass, good for one day ($5) or
one year ($30) and is required at recreation facilities on the Gifford
Pinchot National Forest where this fee is charged.
The Northwest Forest Pass is a great way to help maintain recreation facilities you use. It is good at participating trailheads, picnic areas, boat launches, rustic campsites, visitor centers and interpretive sites in the national forests of Oregon and Washington. If you are planning a trip to the forest, you may need a Northwest Forest Pass.
Expect to need a Northwest Forest Pass where there are facilities, trails or services that the Forest Service provides to enhance your experience. The Northwest Forest Pass is not valid where other fees are charged, such as at concession-operated campgrounds or day-use sites or at Forest Service-operated campgrounds where a nightly camping fee is charged.
The Northwest Forest Pass is sold at Forest Service Offices in the Pacific Northwest, numerous retail outlets, via the internet at www.naturenw.org, or by telephone at (800) 270 -7504.
The Pass is an opportunity for you to help care for your land -- your natural legacy. 80% of the proceeds go directly toward restoring ecosystems, improving services and maintaining recreation facilities.
This pass replaces the Trail Park pass as well as several others and is valid at National Forest fee sites in Oregon and Washington.
