VOLUME 6

United States, Canada Expanding Outdoor Recreational Facilities

Federal Government Acts to Keep Up with Rising Interest Keeping pace with the vast numbers of people who are taking part in outdoor recreational activities has become a monumental task. As the ranks of outdoor enthusiasts continue to swell so too does their need for larger, better equipped and more easily accessible recreation lands. Former President Johnson told the Congress in March of last year, “In our time, the task has become more difficult — ever more urgent. Our numbers grow, our cities become more crowded, the pace of our lives quickens — but man’s need' to raise his spirits and expand his vision still endures.” In an effort to insure that there will always be places to “raise man’s spirits and expand his visions,” the U.S. Government has embarked on an acquisition program that is designed to set aside huge areas of undeveloped lands and waters for recreational use.

Some NOTION OF soaring public participation in outdoor recreation comes from the Bureau of Outdoor activities which reports a 51 percent increase from 1960 to 1965 that is accelerating. Among activities listed among top gainers since 1960 are fishing, boating, camping, and water skiing. Half Million Added During the past three years alone, almost one-half million acres of lands and waters have been set aside for recreational purposes, at a cost of $133,763,000, but that figure will undoubtedly seem modest as the population grows and the price of land advances. Since 1964, Congress has authorized nine new National Recreation Areas: Lake Mead, Arizona-Nevada; Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania-New Jersey; Spruce Knob-Seneca Rock, West Virginia; Whiskey-town-Shasta-Trinity, California; Mt. Rogers, Virginia; Bighorn Canyon, Wyoming-Mon-tana; Flaming Gorge, UtahWyoming; and Ross Lake and Lake Chelan in Washington. During the same period, three National Seashores and two National Lakeshores were authorized: Fire Island National Seashore in New York, Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland and Virginia, Cape Lookout National

Seashore in North Carolina, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan and Indiana, Dunes National Lakeshore in Indiana. Four New Parks Prior to 1964 Cape Hatteras, North Carolina; Cape Cod, Massachusetts; Point Reyes in California; and Padre Island, Texas had been approved as national recreation areas by the Congress. In addition, the government has set aside or established Biscayne National Monument in Florida, a National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, a National Trails System, six Wildlife Refuges, and five Wilderness areas, and from 1964, four new National Parks. Approximately 3,600,000 acres of land have been acquired for the major recreation areas approved since 1964. Most of this acreage already was owned by the Federal Government and was transferred to become part of the new recreation areas. Around 600,000 acres still need to be acquired to complete the new areas. How Financed Money to buy that land will come from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which is supported by entrance and user fees at Federal recreation areas, proceeds from the sale of Federal surplus real property, and the Federal motorboat fuels tax.

Campers Can Get Tour Kit from Bureau In Ottawa Canada, an acknowledged leader in the development of lands and waters for outdoor recreational activities, is not resting on its laurels. It is accelerating the pace at which its natural resources are being turned into national and provincial parks set aside for all who enjoy the splendor of nature. Canadians who headed for EXPO ’67 or Man and His Universe in 1968 found that throughout the country new campsites, parks and trails had been opened. This year anyone heading for the Canadian Outdoors will find the scenic landscape liberally splashed with accommodations for every form of activity in the great outdoors. A province by province rundown gives some hint of the facilities. Starting with the picturesque East Coast and traveling westward, here are some of the highlights: / NEWFOUNDLAND’S Terra Nova National Park, the extensive camp ground at the head of the fjord-like Newman Sound, now has 325 sites practically all of which boast such facilities as piped water, children’s playgrounds, stoves and grills. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, with its national park offering four well-equipped camping areas on the north shore overlooking beaches backed by sandstone cliffs, now has six additional provincial parks added tbits previous 20. NOVA SCOTIA’s big news for this year is the new national park Kejimkujik west of Maitland Bridge on Highway 8, complementing the already existing Cape Breton Highlands National Park. NEW BRUNSWICK’S Fundy National Park on the famous Bay of Fundy is adding to the 1,070 sites available in its six separate camping areas, this summer, equipping them with

modern comfort and convenience facilities. QUEBEC, with its famous Laurentian resort area just north of Quebec City, has engaged in a program of improvement and expansion of its scores of campsites that grew up around Montreal to accommodate Expo ’67 visitors. ONTARIO, Canada’s second largest province, has added six new provincial parks, notably Cyprus Lake and Dunn, 20 miles west of Dunnville on Lake Erie, to its 94, with camping accommodations in 83 of them. MANITOBA’S latest new facility to open is Birds Hill, only 14 miles north of Winnipeg with ample modern recreational facilities. The province boasts of more than 250 picnic sites, camping grounds and trailer parks. SASKATCHEWAN’S South Saskatchewan River Dam project has created 500 miles of recreational shoreline where many new campsites are being planned as additions to the approximately 250 other government operated campsites in the province. ALBERTA, boasting some of the world’s most spectacular and best serviced sites in its three Rocky mountain National Parks — Waterrom Lakes, Banff and Jasper — has extensive, well-equipped tent and trailer accommodations. BRITISH COLUMBIA, with provincial parks covering 6.14 millions of acres, including many well suited for wilderness camping, has added beautiful new beach facilities on the east coast of Vancouver Island and two new camping areas near Fort St. John in the far north.
