itations on outdoor recreational opportunities will 

 constrain future participation and could lead to deg- 

 radation of both the physical resource and the recrea- 

 tional experiences it supports. 



Traditionally, public lands have provided numer- 

 ous recreational opportunities. However, increasing 

 needs for water, minerals, energy, and other forest 

 and range products require that the recreational use 

 of these lands vie with other important resource uses. 

 If the public sector is to continue to provide recrea- 

 tional experiences, future plans for the management 

 of public lands must recognize that outdoor recrea- 

 tion has values commensurate with those of other 

 resource elements. 



It has become apparent, however, that public lands 

 alone cannot bear the burden which increased 

 demands for outdoor recreation opportunities are 

 placing of them. Even now, the supply of outdoor 

 recreation appears to be limited. The 1977 National 



Outdoor Recreation Survey identified several factors 

 affecting participation in outdoor recreation. One of 

 the most frequently cited reasons for not participat- 

 ing was the crowded conditions encountered'*^ (table 

 3.11). Other important reasons included the incon- 

 venience of engaging in outdoor recreational activi- 

 ties, polluted and poorly maintained conditions, and 

 the lack of information about available outdoor 

 recreational opportunities. 



In the future, private lands must provide a larger 

 share of outdoor recreation experiences. In the past, 

 the problems which recreationists create for private 

 landowners, the inability of the private sector to 

 compete financially with public recreation opera- 

 tions, and other factors have limited the availability 

 of private lands for recreational use. Actions to 

 encourage private investment and involve private
