Morrison Springs Implements an Entry Fee Starting April 1st

Morrison Springs Implements $4 Entry Fee to Enhance Visitor Experience and Sustainability

Walton County officials have announced that, effective April 1, 2025, Morrison Springs will implement a $4 entry fee for visitors. This decision aims to manage increasing crowds and ensure the park's sustainability.

Reasons for the Change

The introduction of the entry fee is primarily driven by the need to reduce overcrowding at Morrison Springs. In recent years, the park has experienced a surge in visitors, leading to concerns about environmental degradation and diminished visitor experiences. By implementing a nominal fee, county officials aim to regulate the number of visitors and allocate funds for maintenance and preservation efforts.

Additional Changes

Alongside the entry fee, Walton County plans to introduce other measures to enhance the park experience:

• Capacity Limits: Once the parking lot reaches its capacity, the park will temporarily close to new visitors until space becomes available.

• Enhanced Facilities: Funds collected from the entry fee will be allocated to improve amenities, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable environment for all guests.

These changes reflect Walton County's commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Morrison Springs while providing a high-quality experience for visitors.
