  • G Recreation Costs Incurred by Those Who Use Recreation Amenities Most Heavily
    EExecutive Summary ver the past half century, the nation’s federal manmade lakes have become a powerful recre- O ation attraction. These lakes, a product of dams built primarily for other purposes, have acquired significant added value in water-related recreation. They have become popular destina- tions for vacations and day trips. By the hundreds of thousands, people flock to their waters, their shores, their adjacent parks, and their tailwaters downstream. Federal lakes are a canvas of boat- ing, camping, swimming, fishing, hiking, and other leisure pursuits. Lake recreation is also an economic force, greatly buoying state tourism and local economies. This very success, however, reveals long neglected and growing problems at fed- eral lakes. Despite good intentions, many of the federal agencies in charge of lakes are unable to provide recreation facilities and lake conditions that meet public demand and present-day expectations; and they are failing to recognize and act on recreation opportunities. So say recreation consumers, industry groups, conservation organizations, and state and local governments. All have become increasingly dissatisfied with recreation at federal lakes. The National Recreation Lakes Study Commission was created by Congress and appointed by President Clinton to examine these concerns. After a year of research, nationwide workshops, and deliberations, the Commission finds that recreation at federal lakes is, in fact, beset by a multitude of difficulties and shortcomings. At many sites, facilities ranging from restrooms to boat docks to roads are inad- equate, aging, and falling apart. Pollution and aquatic plant invasions threaten lake health. Fish habitat is compromised, and with it, species survival and sport fishing.
