Fee Changes At Everglades National Park Put On Hold Due To Hurricane Irma

By NPT Staff - September 30th, 2017

Due to Hurricane Irma’s impact on the entire south Florida region, the Department of the Interior has put on hold making changes to Everglade National Park's recreation and commercial use authorization fees until further notice.

“While we are steadfast in our long-term commitment to enhance our visitor amenities while decreasing our maintenance backlog,” said Superintendent Pedro Ramos, “our immediate attention will be to work with the community around us on our recovery efforts."

Hurricane Irma did significant damage to visitor and administrative facilities across the park, with the Flamingo and Gulf Coast Districts hit particularly hard. Nevertheless, park managers are confident that impacted areas will fully reopen for business very soon, albeit with some temporary facilities and some limited closures.

“We know how important Everglades National Park is to the south Florida economy and will continue to work hard with our partners to get back to work serving our nearly 1.5 million visitors,” said Superintendent Ramos.
