Passes & Permits
The Forest Service offers many activities such as hiking, biking, skiing, camping, birding, using cabins, driving for pleasure, harvesting mushrooms, and gathering firewood. Many of the facilities and services associated with these opportunities are free. Some do require fees or permits to help maintain, manage and improve the amenities that you enjoy.

Recreation Permit Information
Recreation permits may be required when extra measures are needed to protect natural or cultural resources.
Recreation permits can include:
- Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area/Trail
- River (Rogue National Wild and Scenic River)
- Wilderness
- Rifle Range
- Groomed Cross-Country Ski Trail
- Group Activities*
- Recreation Events*
* These activities have historically required a "Special Use Permit", which sometimes includes a fee and sometimes are free. The Recreation Enhancement Act allows funds from these fees to now remain where collected. A Special Use Permit grants rights or privileges of occupancy and use to the holder. Examples include reserving a public site for a wedding party, or holding a bicycle race on public lands. These permits contain specific terms and conditions that the holder must follow. Before Special Use Permits are issued, the Forest Service must determine that the proposed use complies with all management plans and laws, that there is a demonstrated need for the activity, and that the use is appropriate on national forest system lands. Special Use Permits are a temporary authority. |

Campfire Permit Information
You can help protect the forest from wildfires by knowing and following rules for the safe use of fire. You must obtain a California Campfire Permit if you plan to build a campfire or use a stove, unless you are in a developed recreation area (campground or picnic area).
Permits are available free-of-charge at offices of the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Remember that regulations governing campfires are specific to each National Forest and change with weather conditions and the seasons. To protect yourself and the forest, before each visit check with the Forest Service for current campfire restrictions. If you smoke outside a vehicle, be sure you do so within a cleared area at least three feet in diameter.
Smoking outside of an enclosed vehicle may be completely prohibited during times of high fire danger. If you discover a fire in the forest, including an unattended campfire, please call 911 as soon as possible. Provide as much information as you can about the fire’s location—road numbers, intersections, trail names, name of the nearest campground and distance to those locations. Drive carefully—firefighters may have already been notified, and crews and equipment could be traveling to the fire on Forest roads.
