This is awesome news considering that someone in our two-person household is turning 62 in May. LOL

Glad I can remember 62!  Even if barely.  Gonna have to check into the COE pass.  Is there a list somewhere of the lakes/ramps that it's good for?  Being a COE retiree, I can fully appreciate the fact that I cannot for the life of me discern or comprehend this portion of the COE website.

For instance, I know that the pass is NOT good at Smithville Lake or Longview as they're county operated.  Just a simple, easy to read list of lakes and ramp sites that are eligible would be nice.  Out of the question for the federal government but nice nonetheless!

Not a simple list; but better than nothing. Plus has link to Reserve campground site.

select a lake

if Recreation Area has a $ sign following name in table (Corps Fees Collected)

Works for MO; Stockton Lake; Orleans Trails $; I've launched there with my COE Annual Pass

Thanks but that's actually the one I was referring to.  I guess after thirty plus years of having to compose and interpret that crap everyday I've become brain numb to it all!  I'm sure it makes perfect sense to whoever put it all together (typical in the government) but it gives me a headache.  We're also well known for our love of printing things sideways which immediately signals me to disengage!

I'm gonna get one of the passes anyway and just sort out the details as I go.  For $10 it's kind of hard be disappointed.  If I happen upon a launch area that's not included I'm sure somebody will let me know!

Thanks again.

By the way it is a Senior Pass called the "America the Beautiful" Pass. I've attached a picture of mine. I got mine at the Dewey Short building at TRL dam.

Well spent.

$50 for an annual pass/key card.  Definitely worth it if you fish that area of the lack often.
