Description

The entire watershed on Forest Service Lands is managed under the National Recreation Fee Demo program by Canyon Enterprises, Inc., under concession to the US Forest Service. A daily fee of $4.00 is charged to enter the area. Seasons passes are available from Canyon Enterprises for $25.00 per year. These passes are also good at all Pike & San Isabel National Forests, Cimarron & Comanche National Grasslands Rec. Fee Demo Areas.
