I have never been charged extra for a launch fee when using the Golden Eagle Pass. At Powell, that may be due to the fact that you purchase a yearly boat sticker also. Never had a launch fee at the Gorge though !! Years ago I asked the head ranger at Strawberry what the deal was and he was unable to give me an answer, other than contact the Main Office in Heber. Several calls and letters to the Heber Office were never answered, so my guess is that they don't want to talk to anyone about it. Don't fish Pineview much any more, so I don't worry about that. Echo is private as it Mantua and Hyrum, so they have their own fees. Lindon and AF on Utah Lake are also private, so they charge their own fees vs. the State Park.
