Standard Amenity Fee Recreation Passes

The Prescott National Forest Pass and Interagency Annual Pass are valid at all Prescott National Forest standard amenity fee sites. The Interagency Annual Pass will be valid nation wide at federally operated standard amenity fee sites as well as entrance fees at National Parks. The Interagency Annual Pass program eliminates the need to purchase separate passes on different National Forests across the nation.

Need help deciding which pass is best for you?

A decision tree is available on our Southwestern Region web page to assist you in deciding which pass is best for you for standard amenity fees.
