Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project.
The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near.
We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents.
Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred.

xi xii INTRODUCTION
Objectives
The 1986 Origin-Destination Participation Study had two objectives:
1) To determine to what extent Texans participate in twenty-six outdoor recreation activities by estimating: -the percentage of the population that participates in each given activity, - the number of participants, - the annual participation rates (in occasions per participant), and - the number of participant occasions in a year by activity.
2) To determine the in-state travel patterns of recrealionists participating in eleven outdoor recreation activities and to allocate participation to the twenty-four planning regions where it occurred, and when possible, to the specific parks or resources.
Background activities for travel data analysis are discussed in "Appendix A: Methodology." Knowing the amount of outdoor recreation participa tion occurring or expected to occur in a given year Because the survey instrument used in the 1986 allows planners and decision-makers to base recom Origin-Destination Participation Study was lengthy, mendations and decisions on quantitative informa some questions were formatted in a separate follow tion. Estimates of participation (expressed demand) up questionnaire sent to a subset of the respondents and supply have been the basis for determining in the original sample. The primary objective of the facility and resource needs in the Texas Outdoor follow-up study, titled the 1986 Activity Analysis Study, Recreation Plan (TORP). Participation data col was to determine peak participation times, by time of lected in this study will be used to develop estimates day, day of week, and month of year. Respondents of future outdoor recreation participation and facility were also asked about their use of facilities. needs for the 1990 TORP. Prior to this study, partici pation data to meet the first objective above had The sample data was expanded (and for future years, been collected in 1980, but data on the destinations projected) to estimate the recreation patterns of all of recreationists had not been gathered by the Texas Texans. The method of expansion is based on the Parks and Wildlife Department since 1968-69.

While the data was rank highest in total occasions tend to occur near collected by sampling each of the state planning where people live, allowing frequent participation. regions, these findings have been weighted by regional populations to more accurately reflect Projections in table 3 were developed by applying statewide behavior. the survey respondents' rates of participation specific to age/sex cohorts to the population of Table 3 ranks the twenty-six outdoor recreation cohorts in later years. Thus, the increases from year activities by total annual user occasions. This to year are driven primarily by population growth. analysis indicates the activities in which Texans will Some activities are expected to shift slightly over time in percentages of total annual user occasions. As the population bulges in the older cohorts, youth oriented activities tend to lose in their share of participation. Life-time activities, such as walking for Table3: pleasure and nature study, will make slight gains as they attract participants from all ages.

ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITIES
The analysis of outdoor recreation participation is Origin Participation organized by activity. The fifteen close-to-home activities are presented first, followed by the eleven Tables A-1 to Z-1 of each activity analysis present resource-based activities which contain both origin origin participation data for the residents of the and destination analyses. The first page on each twenty-four planning regions. The estimated per activity presents an analysis of statewide participa centage of each region's population that engaged in tion. This includes a short description of the activity, the activity at least once the previous year is shown the annual activity occasions for 1985 and 1995 (the for each region as well as the mean number of selected projection year), and the typical duration of annual occasions per participant and the estimated an occasion of that activity. Figures A-1 through Z-1 total annual occasions generated by region resi show the percent of annual occasions that occur in dents. Tables P-1 through Z-1 show how participa each month of the year. The percentages of cohort tion is affected by the availability of opportunities for groups that annually participate in each activity the resource-based activities. For example, partici (figures A-2 through Z-2) were also developed on a pation in saltwater activities increases as distance to statewide basis aggregating all respondents into the Gulf Coast decreases.

Typical Occasion Duration = 1.3 hrs. Much of the participation in this activity occurs along streets and roads; research by the Figure A-1: Percent of Annual Participation in TPWD indicates that only 18.7 percent occurs Walking for Pleasure by Texans, by Month on trails. As shown below, every cohort group participates heavily in this activity. Elderly Texans continue to participate in walking for pleasure, unlike most other activities where participation usually declines with age. The lack of urban walk/bike/jog trails in Texas appears to be a limiting participation factor. '

Over 30 percent of Texans surveyed indicated Annual Statewide Activity Occasions: that they annually fish in freshwater reservoirs Estimated for 1985 = 39,625,591 or streams in Texas. Efforts to provide more Projected for 1995 = 45,699,322 fishing opportunities in urban areas appear to Typical Occasion Duration= 4.3 hrs. have increased participation in this activity. The sex of the individual appears to influence participation in this activity with males fishing at Figure U-1: Percent of Annual Participation in almost twice the rate of females. Whites also Freshwater Fishing by Texans, by Month fish at significantly higher rates than other ethnic groups. Spring is the most popular freshwater fishing season. Past research indicates that !2.2 44.8 percent of freshwater fishing occasions are by boat, 34.3 percent are bank fishing, and 20.9 percent are from a structure such as a pier. 8 ··················································································'.c 5···· ...... ·°'.,)15
