National recreation forests plan to pilot mobile eligibility checks from November 2 through December 31, 2026. A visitor scans an on-site QR code, authenticates, and presents relevant discount eligibility such as local residency, large-family, disability, or veterans status. Confirm the particular forest’s discount criteria and whether the check occurs during booking or on arrival. The announcement does not make every discount automatic at every forest.

Three practical checks

Three checks before acting

  1. Check the relevant forest’s discount criteria before booking.
  2. Look for on-site QR instructions and have a phone ready for authentication.
  3. Ask the facility about fallback proof if mobile verification fails.

This page describes the official announcement as of October 28, 2026. Check the responsible institution's latest page or the particular venue, employer, school, or service screen before acting; the announcement alone does not establish an individual entitlement or outcome.
