FORT INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa. – Those wishing to visit Fort Indiantown Gap for hunting, fishing, trapping and other activities in restricted areas may now complete their mandatory safety briefing and pay their annual $50 access fee via any internet capable device by visiting https://ftig.isportsman.net.
After completing online registration and payment of fees, hunters will be able to check in and check out of the hunting areas using a kiosk located on the installation.

The briefings, formerly only available in person, are now online and can be accessed throughout the season.
