From staff reports
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service is conducting a recreation site analysis (RSA) of the developed recreation sites in the Allegheny National Forest.
Sixty-three sites including campgrounds, picnic areas, trailheads, boat launches, beaches, and interpretive sites are under review by staff. The review will determine the sites’ value in contributing to public recreation demand and preferences, environmental integrity, and the economic vitality of the forest and its communities.
The goal of the RSA is to build a five-year program of work that will help shift the forest’s recreation program to a more sustainable path given today’s recreation trends and available funds.
