HR County Forest Parking Permit Program Has Good First Year

The first season of Hood River County’s parking permit program at a number of county forest trailheads to help support management and maintenance of the trail system went well.  County Forester Doug Thiesies told County Commissioners they took in $84,000 in revenue while selling 4300 permits.  He added people were overwhelmingly supportive of the program, but also wanting to be sure the money is used for what it is advertised to be intended for.  Thiesies said the number achieved this year was with an April rollout of the program, while they will start in January in 2023.  He also said they will probably look at adding more parking zones to the program in the future.
