DRY FALLS, WHITEWATER FALLS AND WHITESIDE MOUNTAIN FEE PROPOSAL
The U.S. Forest Service is proposing fee changes at the Dry Falls, Whitewater Falls and Whiteside Mountain recreation areas on the Nantahala National Forests and the public is invited to provide input to the proposal for 60 days beginning on May 3, 2024. Under the new proposed fee structure, the daily price to access all three sites will increase from $3 to $5 per vehicle, while the annual pass will increase from $15 to $30. Passes purchased will continue to be honored across all three sites.
The goal of the proposed changes is to improve visitor experiences through operations, maintenance, and improvements to the sites and trails paid for by the collected fees. After public comment is received, the Forest will assess the comments and concerns and then present the fee proposals to the Southern Region Recreation Resource Advisory Committee (RRAC) at a future date. Committee members represent a broad array of recreation interest groups to help ensure that the Forest Service is proposing reasonable and publicly acceptable new fees and fee changes.
The public is invited to comment on the proposed fee changes by July 2nd, 2024. For more information visit our webpage at https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/nfsnc/recfeeproposals.
