Special Use Permits

Special Use Permits are issued for short-term activities that provide a benefit to an individual, group, or organization rather than the public at large.

These activities require some degree of management if there is a potential for interference with visitor use, congestion of a highly visited area, or possible impact on park resources.

Examples include ash scattering, family reunions, church services, first-amendment demonstrations, political events, public assemblies, and weddings and other ceremonies.

If you wish to obtain a special use permit for an activity not displayed below or to determine if your proposed activity requires a permit, please call [phone] or e-mail ([e-mail]) us with the subject line "Attn: Special Use Permits." Submit applications for permits well in advance, preferably two-to-three months before the event, for consideration and processing.
