Fees to begin at Tony Grove recreation area

Tony Grove Parking Fee Begins July 1st, 2003 Logan, Utah

Scenic Canyons Recreational Services, Inc, the concessionaire permitted to manage campgrounds, picnic areas, and day use facilities in the Logan Ranger District of the Wasatch – Cache National Forest will begin charging a parking fee at the Tony Grove Area beginning July 1, 2003.

The parking fee per vehicle will be $3.00 per day, $10.00 per week, and $25.00 per season and will be required for parking in the Tony Grove area. Golden Age, Access and Eagle Passes are not valid for this fee. A fee for Tony Grove parking has become necessary due to increasing costs to maintain facilities. Costs include wages for cleaning and maintenance, sanitation, sewage removal, etc.

Camp fees have covered these costs in the past, however, rather than continuing to have camp fees subsidize these areas and to keep camp fees reasonable and fair, it is necessary to charge the users of the day use areas directly.
