Academic River Trips

To qualify as an academic river trip you must:

1. Meet the criteria for an Academic Fee Waiver. You must submit a current, approved academic fee waiver with your special use permit application. This waiver applies to park entrance fees, but not other permit fees.
2. Meet current Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requirements for academic/school trips. Utah DNR has determined that schools operating on waterways are defined as commercial boating; fill out and submit the CPFH Outfitter Application at this website.

River Permits

You will need to secure a backcountry river permit from the Canyonlands Reservation Office. Fees apply.
