Permits & Reservations

Permits

Special use permits are required for any activity that provides a benefit to an individual, group or organization rather than the public at large. A permit is also required for an activity not initiated, sponsored, nor conducted by the National Park Service that is disruptive or potentially disruptive to normal park operations.

This includes but is not limited to weddings, concerts, photographs, filming, training, trail maintenance, service projects, right of way, grazing, agriculture, and mineral rights.

A $50 non-refundable application fee must be submitted with the application form for the application to be considered. If the permit is approved and issued, additional fees will be charged to recover costs incurred by the National Park Service for administering the permitted activity.

 

Reservations

Self-Guided Groups

Reservations are not required for self-guided school, educational, and non-educational groups as they are no different than any other regular visit to Fort Necessity. However, we suggest that you call in advance to avoid overlapping with large numbers of groups. Mid-April through early June are often busy with groups.
