The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2009 Day Use Passes are now available for purchase [in the Branson area] at the Table Rock Lake Project Office. The passes cost $30 each, and holders of Golden Age or Access Passports or America the Beautiful Senior or Access Passports may purchase them for $15.
Purchasers of passes this year will see a change from previous years. The month and year stickers will now reflect the expiration date instead of the purchase date. This means there will not be a 2009 sticker issued but one that expires in 2010. This change will make the pass expiration more clear.
The Day Use Pass is a tag that is hung from the interior rear view mirror of the vehicle. A visitor may purchase more than one annual day use pass at full price.
Day Use Pass holders may use any day use area managed by the Corps nationwide at no additional cost. At Table Rock Lake, area day use fees are charged at Aunts Creek, Baxter, Big M, Campbell Point, Cape Fair, Cricket Creek, Cow Creek, Eagle Rock, Indian Point, Long Creek, Mill Creek, Moonshine Beach, Old Hwy 86, Viney Creek and Viola. These passes do not apply to other types of use fees, such as camping or picnic shelter reservation fees.
