Passes

Recreation passes provide access to Forest Service operated recreation sites in Washington and Oregon where a day use fee is required. Annual passes cover day-use or entrance fees all year, while single-day passes work for one day.

Several sites on the Colville National Forest are managed by a permitted concessionaire. Check here to see if your destination is managed by Scenic Canyons and prepare ahead of time for differences in fee structure.
