Passes & Permits
Before you plan an activity on the Forest, please be sure to check
whether or not you need a permit or pass. The following lists all
permits and their activities.
Recreation Passes & Permits
Many recreation sites on the Forest require a permit or pass. Required
permits and passes are listed for each site in the Tripplanning
section. Find out what pass you need for an activity and how to
obtain it.
Sno-park
Permit
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) requires this permit
to park at many snow covered recreation sites from November 15 through
April 30.
Off Highway Vehicle Permit
An off-highway vehicle permit is required by the State of Oregon
if you want to operate your off-highway vehicle on public land.
The State establishes and administers OHV permits and regulations.
Special Forest Products Permit
This permit is required whenever you plan to sell forest products. Also,
some products are rare enough or in high enough demand that they also require
a permit. Special Forest products include floral greenery, mushrooms, transplants
(trees, shrubs or herbaceous plants), cones, medicinal plants, cuttings,
herbs, nuts, berries, decorative wood, pitch, Christmas trees and boughs,
and rocks. (For more information on what special products are, visit the
forest products page.)

A special use permit is required when you are asking for special
privileges on National Forest land. Examples include gatherings
of 75 people or more, operating a business, using the Forest for
financial gain, and commercial filming. If you are unsure whether
you need a special use permit, please contact
us.
Firewood Permit
When firewood is available, this firewood permit is required for
gathering firewood for personal use. Availability and procedures
for collecting vary by Ranger District.
Road Use Permits
