The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Center Hill Lake charges a day use fee at selected recreation areas. The recreation areas on Center Hill Lake charging these fees are Floating Mill Park, Ragland Bottom, and Hurricane Bridge. These areas offer sand swimming beaches, playgrounds, launching ramps, bathrooms, picnic sites and picnic shelters. The fees for Floating Mill and Ragland Bottom are $4.00 per vehicle regardless of type of use or size of group. Persons walking into a recreation area are charged $1.00 per person per day (children under 12 are free). Hurricane Bridge does not have a swimming area or a playground, and the day use fee of $3.00 is applied only to those using the boat launching ramp. Current Golden Age/Access passport holders or individuals possessing the new America the Beautiful Senior or Access Pass will receive a 50% discount on these fees.

Payment of the fee will permit the use of similar day use facilities at any Corps project on the date of payment.  A paid camping permit from a Corps operated campground will entitle the holder to use any designated day use facility without paying the day user fee on the day for which the camping permit is valid.

Annual Passes

Day Use Annual Passes are available for sale at the Center Hill Lake Resource Manager’s Office near the Center Hill Dam, or at any of the three recreation areas mentioned above. Annual Passes cost $30.00 each and are valid for twelve full months from the date of issuance. A half-price discount is given for the holder of a Golden Age/Access Passport or of an America the Beautiful Interagency Senior or Access Pass . The Annual Pass is good at all similar day use facilities at any Corps project.

Note: Not all recreational facilities on Center Hill Lake are operated by the Corps of Engineers and thus the recreational fees charged, if any, are not necessarily compatible. Therefore, a camping permit from Edgar Evins State Park will not admit you into Floating Mill Recreation Area. An annual pass from a marina that charges a launching fee will not admit you to launch at Hurricane Bridge Recreation Area. Likewise a permit or pass issued by the Corps will not necessarily admit you into a State Park or allow you to launch at a Marina.

We regret that we cannot honor the Interagency Annual Pass. It is issued by federal agencies (including the National Park Service) who charge entrance fees and is an annual pass covering entrance fees only. The Corps does not charge entrance fees, only use fees.
