Visitors to the Oum Rabia waterfalls in Khenifra province were asked to pay two dirhams to cross a wooden bridge built at the site, according to a video widely shared on social media.
Local reports said authorities intervened Saturday to stop the fee collection and remove the equipment placed near the crossing.
The incident revived complaints over informal charges at Moroccan beaches, waterfalls and other public leisure sites, where visitors often face unauthorized fees for access, parking or basic passage.
Rabat lawyer Omar Daoudi told Hespress that charging citizens to cross a bridge or path without legal authorization violates freedom of movement and amounts to unlawful use of public property.
He said such practices damage domestic and foreign tourism, particularly when local authorities fail to organize natural sites through clear, legal management.
