TNF parking pass

Bayou... the $95 total...

Is that including the $65 for the Golden Eagle Passport? and the Upgrade?

Thanks for any info

 

[Bayou]

Yes, it is! 8)

 

[Arizona Fisherman]

Thanks Bayou

I will definitely go down and purchase one tomorrow! It will pay for itself within 2 months!

Can someone explain what this permit entitles you to? Is this a parking permit? if so, does allow year-round parking AND ramp fees? What lakes does it cover? Thanx for any help...I tried the game & fish site, but didn't find any info on this permit. I like to fish Apache and Canyon (when it's not too crowded).

I just learned about the tag by reading posts on this site, so I stopped into the TNF office on McDowell today and picked up some info. You have to purchase the Golden Eagle Passpost ($65) which is good for 1 year from the purchase date, and then purchase the upgrade. Which I have now learned (courtesy of Bayou) that it must be $30, making it a total of $95. It allows the holder to enter Saguaro, Canyon, Bartlett, Apache, Roosevelt, and heaven forbid we had an overwhelming amount of rain... Horseshoe lake, without paying the $6.00 entrance fee each day.

When I checked into the permit, I discovered that it does indeed cover parking for a vehicle and boat/trailer per day on the Verde and Salt River watershed lakes. However, it does not cover any additional fees charged for camping in "developed" areas. Primitive camping is included, but make sure that you are covered if you decide to camp in developed camping grounds.

Just so you know it also covers parking in various hiking areas, too. i.e. First Water Trailhead, etc.

Tonto office does "not" have the 2004 permits yet

Just stopped by the tonto forest office on east Mcdowell and they do "not" have the 2004 window stickers yet, they said they would be the first to have them and they won't have them till at least Jan. 2nd. :x

 

[Rippinlips]

Jerkbait, the Mesa office is one block south of McKellips and about 1/4 mile west of Higley on Ingram. They're open until 4:30PM.

Fishless? RippinLips? If RippinLips picked up the 2004 sticker in Mesa and the HQ on McDowell told Fishless they don't have them but will be the first to get 'em, then something or someone must be screwed up?

 

[Jerkbait]

Rippinlips, Thank You

[Fishless]

:? Phaz,did you get a 2004 sticker or 03??? I talked to the supervisor on Mcdowell and told him that guys were posting that they got their 2004 sticker already and he said no way?? but then that is the federal government so who knows?? Heck I may stop by the Cave Creek office after duck hunting on monday since I live a long way from Mesa, GOOD LUCK :shock:
