In accordance with the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act of 2004 (REA) and National Park Policies, Shenandoah National park is required to engage the public and to solicit feedback in proposed changes to our recreation fees. The NPS invites and welcomes comments. These comments will help us make well-informed decisions about how to proceed with these changes.
