RECREATION EVENT PERMITS

Recreation special use permits are authorizations issued by the Forest Service to conduct commercial recreation activities on National Forest System lands. Commercial recreational use or activity is defined as:

Any use or activity on National Forest System lands (a) where an entry or participation fee is charged, or (b) where the primary purpose is the sale of a good or service, and in either case, regardless of whether the use or activity is intended to produce a profit. (36CFR 251.51) Recreation events are usually short-term in nature and can include organized events such as animal, running, and biking races; dog trials; fishing contests; adventure games; and fairs.
