Permits & Reservations

 

Special Use Permits

A Special Use Permit (SUP) is required for activities that provide a benefit to an individual, group, or organization, rather than the public at large, and that require some degree of management from the National Park Service in order to protect park resources and the public interest.

Activities in Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area that require a permit are:

  • Special Events: fishing tournaments, tour groups, commercial sporting events, weddings and ceremonies, memorial gatherings, etc.
  • First Amendment Activities

Please note that ash scattering is no longer permitted at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area.

 
Fishing tournaments, commercial activities and tours all require permits.
