Passes

Our offices are open to visitors Monday - Friday. Staff are available to assist you by phone or email during regular business hours. If you wish to purchase passes or permits, please call ahead. 

The Forest Supervisor's Office is an information and administrative office located in Gainesville, outside of the Forest. Recreation passes and permits may be purchased on Wednesdays and Thursdays at this location. When you are ready to recreate on your national forests and grasslands, determine if your plans require a recreation fee and what types of passes are available. Many recreation sites and activities on the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests do not require a fee at all. No matter where you are going on federal public lands, take advantage of the type of pass that will work best for you.

Reservations may be required in some campgrounds. Reservations can be made online or call 1-877-444-6777 (toll free).

If you're looking to spend some time at one of our shootings ranges, recreation sites or OHV trails, check out Activity Passes on Recreation.Gov.
