Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites; Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, (Title VIII, Pub. L. 108-447)

Resumen

The Boise National Forest is planning to charge fees at two recreation sites. Fees are assessed based on the level of amenities and services provided, cost of operation and maintenance, market assessment, and public comment. The fees listed are currently proposed and will be determined upon further analysis and public comment. Funds from fees would be used for the continued operation and maintenance of these recreation sites. The bunkhouse at the Dutch Creek Guard Station will be available for overnight rental. In consideration of the fees for similar Forest Service facilities and other location factors, the tentative cabin rental fee was set at $45 per night. Guard station rental cabins offer unique experiences and are a popular offering in National Forests. Two other cabins at this guard station have been available for public rental for a number of years and are rented approximately 50 nights during the snow-free season.
