The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is proposing new recreation fee sites. The Chequamegon-Nicolet's proposal includes: A $75 nightly fee for the Franklin Lake Caretaker Cabin, and adding nine day-use sites to the Forest's day-use fee program. Sites proposed are: Ada Lake Beach, Bear Lake Beach, Bear Lake Boat Landing, Beck Road Trailhead, Block House Boat Landing, Gordon Lake Beach, Mondeaux Pines Picnic Site, Smith Rapids Picnic Area and Wanoka Trailhead. Fees are assessed based on the level of amenities and services provided, cost of operations and maintenance and market assessment. These fees are proposed and will be determined upon further analysis and public comment. Funds from fees would be used for the continued operation and maintenance and improvements to the facilities within the recreation areas. An analysis of nearby recreation facilities with similar amenities shows that the proposed fees are reasonable and typical of similar sites in the area.

Ada Lake Beach, Bear Lake Beach, Bear Lake Boat Landing, Beck Road 
Trailhead, Block House Boat Landing, Gordon Lake Beach, Mondeaux Pines 
Picnic Site, Smith Rapids Picnic Area and Wanoka Trailhead.

These fees are proposed and will be determined upon further analysis 
and public comment. Funds from fees would be used for the continued 
operation and maintenance and improvements to the facilities within the 
recreation areas.

National Forest, 500 Hanson Lake Road Rhinelander, WI 54501

https://www.fs.usda.gov/CNNF

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act 
(Title VII, P.L. 108-447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to 
publish a six month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new 
recreation fee areas are established.
    All proposed day-use sites have the six amenities required under 
the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act and are similar to other 
fee sites on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Franklin Lake 
Caretakers Cabin is a unique overnight opportunity not provided 
elsewhere on the forest. These proposed new fees are part of a larger 
fee proposal that includes campground increases and a change in the 
price of the annual day-use fee. For more information on these sites 
and the full proposal, visit https://www.fs.usda.gov/CNNF/.
