Is the Corps pushing online daily use fees in Mississippi? Over here in Alabama they have been moving toward everything online. Just curious if the launch pay boxes were still in use or what the proper channels would be.
Thanks!

I haven't used the day use fee boxes in years, but there was an out of state guy trying to put in at North Graysport Sunday, and he asked me about it. He said there were no envelopes in the box. However, when I put in at South Graysport yesterday, I saw a guy filling an envelope out. Apparently that box had them. Long story short, I don't know. I've been buying the annual pass for years..
*The reason for no envelopes at North Graysport may have been due to the fact that ramp has been unusable during the drawdown.
I appreciate it, that’s what I do over here. Looking for a one day trip in the next couple of weeks and just trying to get a game plan

We used to have the COE launch fee house (w/envelope & drop chute) in KY ... but they've been replaced with a machine that only takes credit/debit cards. Or you can buy yearly passes.
I used the box many times in the past several years,,but sure if they’ve changed anything in the past 3-5 yrs,,,If your going to fish alot ,just buy the annual parking pass up at the COE station at whatever lake your at…last time I bought one it wasn’t too bad
Do you have an annual pass from the COE now for Alabama? If so if so it is good here.Quote:

There is info under the “general” and “annual” tabs. These passes are good over 6 different govt agencies. 5USGS Store
I CUT THIS DIRECTLY FROM THE ANNUAL PASS TAB.

Launching at a COE ramp is considered a day use fee.
Contact the COE Nashville Office to verify about passes and ramp fees for specifics OR the specific waterway.
