To address maintenance issues, repairs and adding additional park programs, Crater Lake National Park is proposing a hike in entrance fees.

According to KATU:

CRATER LAKE, Ore. — Crater Lake National Park officials are proposing increases for entrance fees.

Currently, the single-vehicle entrance fee for a 7-day pass is $15. It would change to $25. 

The park's annual pass would increase from $30 to $50. The motorcycle entrance rate of $10 per person and $10 per individual would change to $12 per individual and $20 per motorcycle. Current fees have been in place since 2015. 

More than 750,000 people visited the park in 2016, and contributed $65.3 million to the local economy.
