Special Park Use Permits are required for activities that provide a benefit to an individual, group or organization, rather than the public at large. Permits are required to ensure that the permitted activity does not interfere with the enjoyment of the park by other visitors and that the natural and cultural resources of the park are protected. Examples of special events that likely require a permit include, but are not limited to:
Please submit your application at least three weeks ahead of time to accommodate review and processing. It may be necessary for park staff to contact you for further information while considering your request, particularly for large or complex events, which can lengthen processing times. There is a $30.00, non-refundable application fee for each permit. This reimburses the park for costs incurred in processing your request. There may be additional charges for large events that require additional NPS staff time for management activities such as traffic control, site cleanup, or trash removal.
