Thats the point. A permit is needed to take a walk. A permit that costs something AND has to be obtained. To take a walk. I could not have made my point more succinctly.
There are places in the south you need permits to hike (or rather to park) as well. I want to say that the Lake Tuscaloosa park is one and I think the same is true of the Cheaha State Park nearby. There are also parks in several areas where you need both a permit to play any sport as well as proof of insurance. This includes a few parks in the south that I've been to
No doubt. There are many places that charge a user fee in the south. There are almost NONE in the PNW, particularly Washington. A good example is a boat ramp 10 minutes from my house. I pay $50 a year to use it. Has a parking lot the size of a walmart parking lot. Has 8 ramps that are 25 feet wide where 60 foot boats are regularly launched (houseboats), Air conditioned bathrooms with running water, several fish cleaning stations, dockage for about 50 boats, all lit up and secured. In Washington State I paid $80 a year but could launch at any day use ramp operated by the state. They are about 100 miles apart and consist of a gravel bank that has washed out that technically can be used to launcg a boat if you don't mind driving into the water up to the hubs to do so. Parking is wherever you have balls enough to do it as long as the man don't think you oughta and then you will get towed and they don't mark where acceptable parking is. No lights, no docks, no bathrooms, no trashcans....nothing. By the way I could drive another 5 miles in any direction here and access a boat ramp that is $5 a day but they don't mean it, no one pays and no one is ever ticketed.
