![]() America The Beautiful Passes are available The entrance fee you pay at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area makes a difference! Under the Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act, national parks keep 80% of all fees collected and use that money to fund critical projects that improve services and protect resources. The park has been able to renovate the restroom facility near diving rock beach and install interpretive exhibits in the Island Ford Visitor Center with fee money. Learn more about Your Dollars At Work in the park. When you park your vehicle in the park your proof of payment is a CRNRA Daily Pass, a CRNRA Annual Pass, or an America the Beautiful Pass. The pass must be displayed from the inside rear view mirror, or on the dashboard, of your vehicle making sure the face of the pass is visible from the outside. Purchasing A PassPlanning a visit to the Chattahoochee? Then consider purchasing a pass online through Recreation.Gov using your smart phone, tablet, or home computer. Purchasing a pass online will require you to input your vehicle's license plate number. There will be no physical pass to display, compliance will be checked via your license plate. If you purchase a daily pass in advance and the parking lot is full then you will need to visit another unit as a pass does not guarantee a parking space. If you purchase a pass upon arrival to the park just scan the QR code posted in the parking lots. Below are the passes available online through Recreation.Gov that are honored in the park.
Do You: plan on visiting multiple parks Then stop by the Island Ford Visitor Center located in the Historic Hewlett Lodge! Having a hard plastic pass will require that it be displayed on your vehicle's dashboard or hanging from your rear view mirror when ever you visit the park.
