The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has scheduled two public meetings to discuss proposed mountain bike trail fees at three state parks. DNR officials are considering charging a $2 fee (or $25 annual trail pass) in addition to the normal daily fees and annual passes at Fort Yargo, Hard Labor Creek and Unicoi state parks to help offset operational and maintenance costs.  Read the proposal here.  This is your chance to give your input. The meetings are scheduled for:

• January 9, 7 p.m. at Ft. Yargo State Park in Winder. Camp Will-A-Way’s gymnasium.

• January 11, 7 p.m. at Unicoi State Park in Helen. Logo Meeting Room at the lodge
