conocean Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 NPS is supposed to put required boat & personal ENP permits in motion by July of this year. An announcement should be made at least 90 days prior. I get all the NPS newsletters and haven't seen any mention of the topic yet. You can buy an annual personal permit for entrance into Shark Valley & Flamingo thru this link- https://yourpassnow.com/ParkPass/park/ever I won't be purchasing any permits until I receive something in writing from the NPS stating that permits are required to be in the ENP via Everglades City/Chokoloskee. I just emailed my ranger contact at the NPS and will report back if he has any info to share in regards to this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just received the following info from the ENP chief ranger: "The boater education program is still not operational, so there is no permit required for operating in the park."

jason p Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 This is looking like its going to be a case in which the molasses-like pace of Federal buerocracy is going to work in our favor. I inquired when renewing my annual entrance & ramp pass last month (after I had my credit card and permits in-hand) and I got the shoulder shrug and eye roll from ranger.
