A fee will be charged for handling reservations through Recreation.gov.

Due to sequestration and budget cuts, some facilities will be closed and others will have reduced services. Please check the closure/reduced service table for information or contact one of the visitor contact stations. Changes will be implemented as staffing levels allow during the first two weeks of March. All open facilities should be operational by March 15th.

Please be aware that some special events held at the pavilions (such as weddings, press receptions, concerts, et al) will require a Special Use Permit in addition to the pavilion reservation.
