Going boating? A Watercraft Sticker is required only for motorized watercraft that are using the boat ramps.

The Tonto National Forest is the only National Forest not fully included with an America the Beautiful Pass. An America the Beautiful Pass covers entrance to picnic areas only. Tonto National Forest has its own annual pass - called the Discovery Pass. They are only sold at Tonto offices or gated entrances.

When making your travel plans, check that the area of the National Forest you are visiting is open to the public, as some conditions, such as fires or weather, may temporarily close the access.
