What is a Commercial Use Authorization (CUA)?
Private businesses play an important role in helping Chickasaw National Recreation Area carry out its mission by offering services to park visitors that are not provided directly by the government.
A commercial use authorization (CUA) is a permit that allows a private business to operate small-scale, commercial activities within Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Activities must be consistent with the purpose for which Chickasaw National Recreation Area was established.
