Overview
Before heading out in the Pacific Northwest, make sure you pack your Northwest Forest Pass. Along with getting you into many improved recreation sites, it also insures their protection. And, since 80% of the proceeds go directly back into trail and facility maintenance, you can be sure your next visit will be just as enjoyable as your last.
The Northwest Forest Pass is a vehicle pass required at all designated recreation sites in Washington and Oregon. The cost is $5.00 per day per vehicle. Annual passes are available for $30.00. Golden Eagle, Age, and Access Passports are honored at pass sites.
Obtaining a Pass
Passes are available at local Forest Service offices and numerous retail outlets. You can obtain a pass by phone at 800-270-7504 or go online to get your pass. Self-service pay stations have been placed at some high use recreational sites for your convenience.
