Permits & Reservations

Permits

Special activities such as cultural programs, picnics, wedding ceremonies, and film and photography projects may require a Special Use Permit.

A special use permit is required for activities that provide a benefit to an individual, group or organization rather than the public at large.These activities require some degree of management from the National Park Service if there is the potential for interference with visitor use, congestion of a highly visited area, or possible impact on park resources or operations. The park may permit a special park use providing the activity will not unduly interfere with normal park operations, cause damage to or distraction from park resources or values or present a threat to public safety or property.
