Commercial Recreational Land Use

Introduction and Purpose:

Thank you for taking this survey from the City & Borough of Sitka's (CBS) Parks and Recreation Office. This survey is for users of CBS owned/managed recreational areas and facilities to provide their input, priorities, and preferences for allowing commercial use such as guided hikes, bike tours, and kayak rentals through the CBS commercial recreational land use permit process.

Areas, trails and roads outlined in this survey are often under the jurisdiction of multiple organizations (CBS, State of Alaska, BIHA, USFS, etc), with questions in this survey focused only where the CBS would require a permit for commercial recreation operations.

These results, coupled with the input received at an Open House meeting on October 24, 2024, will be presented to the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Assembly to guide how CBS will issue these permits starting in 2025.
