Fee Demo Program

The Fee Demo Program is a system where visitors pay entrance or usage fees to access certain federal lands, parks, and recreational areas. The goal is to generate funding to maintain and improve these public spaces, ensuring they remain safe, clean, and enjoyable. Instead of relying solely on government budgets, the program helps share the cost of managing these sites with users who directly benefit from them. Fees vary depending on the location and activities, such as camping, hiking, or fishing, encouraging responsible use and financial sustainability.
