The following displays poorly but if you can follow it it says that the passes are required for parking at High Impact Recreation Areas. Buckboard Crossing is listed as one of the areas. A number of improvements and facilities are mentioned which may be present for an HIRA. The marina and campground area are obviously one such area. However, it is ambiguous as to whether the next road to the south with a toilet would be a part of it or would stand alone or not qualify at all. I intend to call and find out for sure. I'll post what I learn.
RECREATION PASSES
Flaming Gorge Passes
A Flaming Gorge Pass is required for parking at High lmpact Recreation Areas (HIRA) on the Flaming Gorge
National Recreation Area. Congress passed the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (REA) replacing
the Recreation Fee Demonstration program. The new REA program extends fee authority for 10 vears while at
the same time refines where the fees can be charged.
REA has been implemented in areas (known as "corridors") that have improvements, services, and facilities
that benefit the recreating public. For example, restrooms, fish cleaning stations, courtesV docks, divider
docks, picnic areas, paved parking areas, garbage service, multi-lane boat ramps, interpretrve services, securitv
services, and developed beaches.
The following explains where a recreation use fee is reouired.
Each location is termed a High lmpact Recreation Area (HIRA) and will include a r/4 -mile corridor surroundins
the access road from the highway to the lake or river access pornt.

Parked vehicles in a High lmpact Recreation Area that do not display a valid Flaming Gorge pass are subject to
a citation of $75. America the Beautiful Senior, Access, Annual, and Volunteer passport holders as well as
Golden Age and Golden Access holders, are not required to purchase a Flaming Gorge pass. The majority of
the revenue remains in the area where it is collected. The money is used for repair and rehabilitation of
recreation facilities and for improved visitor services. Passes can be purchased at the Forest service offices in
Green River, Manila, and Vernal, at the l:laming Gorge Dam and at Red Canyon Visitor Center. Local vendors
also sell passes.
