Current fees at First Water TH

Post by hippiepunkpirate »

Is there currently a fee to park at First Water Trailhead? I will be parked there overnight for a backpacking trip. I couldn't find a definite answer anywhere so I'm assuming there isn't one but wanted to double check here.

Jake, I'm now a volunteer with the Forest Service and work the First Water TH on Sundays and there has been no mention of fees at the trailhead. You're good to go, hope you enjoy yourself.

On every trip into the Superstitions, I find another Gold Mine. Today the mine was filled with Memories. I can not wait for the next trip.

What they all said, in fact there is a sign on the right as you drive in that says there are no fees to park there.
