  • Sandy River Delta Recreation Use Fee Questions & Answers
    United States Department of Agriculture Sandy River Delta Recreation Use Fee Questions & Answers (Updated January 9, 2020) Sandy River Delta is a 1,500-acre natural area providing public access to a unique ecosystem where the Sandy River meets the Columbia River. Acquired by the U.S. Forest Service in 1991, the site is managed to restore and protect sensitive scenic, cultural, recreational, and natural resources. It is a “key viewing area” at the west end of the National Scenic Area, with spectacular views. It has a rich cultural history of use by hunters, gatherers, and fishers and was visited by the Lewis and Clark expedition. It is a rare remnant of river bottomland ecosystem that provides habitat for anadromous fish species, migratory birds, and wildlife. The western part of the site provides year-round recreation on five miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, while the eastern portion protects natural and cultural resources. Why is the U.S. Forest Service implementing a recreation fee at Sandy River Delta? In recent years, visitation to Sandy River Delta has increased, driving up maintenance costs and staff time to maintain services. The new fee will support operation and maintenance costs and increased presence of Forest Service staff. How will fee money be spent? Fees will help cover facility operation and maintenance, trail maintenance, hazard tree abatement, and visitor services such as garbage bags and removal, vault toilet pumping, toilet paper restocking, dog waste bags. Facilities include a parking area, restrooms, trash cans, interpretive signs, and picnic tables. Annual operating and maintenance costs at Sandy River Delta are approximately $60,000.
