U.S. Forest Service 20250130 200355 vector digital data http://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php This dataset contains the recreation site opportunity information that the Forest Service collects through the Recreation Portal and shares with the public on the Forest Service World Wide Web pages www.fs.usda.gov, the Recreation Information Database (RIDB), the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), and the Interactive Visitor Map. This recreation database contains descriptions of recreational sites, areas, activities and facilities. Recreation opportunities are point locations of recreational site activities available to visitors and populates the Forest Service websites at www.fs.usda.gov, and the interactive visitor map at https://www.fs.usda.gov/ivm/. 20160101 publication date Complete As needed -177.596546 -8.244094 61.082222 11.358620 ISO 19115 Topic Categories society None The USDA Forest Service makes no warranty, expressed or implied, including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, nor assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, completeness or utility of these geospatial data, or for the improper or incorrect use of these geospatial data.

SM.FS.data@usda.gov USDA Forest Service Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.9.1.28388 This published dataset consists of one point feature class for recreational areas, one spatial view and three related tables such as activities, facilities and rec area advisories. The purpose of each related table is described below. RECAREAACTIVITIES: This related table contains information about the activities that are associated with the rec area. RECAREAFACILITIES: This related table contains information about the amenities that are associated with the rec area. RECAREAADVISORIES: This table contains events, news, alerts and warnings that are associated with the rec area. RECAREAACTIVITIES_V: This spatial view/feature class is generated by joining the RECAREAACTIVITIES table to the RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES Feature Class. Please note that the RECAREAID is the unique identifier present in point feature class and in the related tables as well. The RECAREAID is used as a foreign key to access related records. This published data is updated nightly from an XML feed maintained by the CIO Rec Portal team. This data is intended for public use and distribution. Trails are excluded because this dataset is formatted as points and trails are linear. Data is generalized locations placed near the major access point of the recreation site or the center point if there are multiple major access points. Generally the source information used to record spatial locations are from: 1) on-screen digitizing with a georeferenced topographic or image background; or 2) GPS field collected positions. 1. Recreation point data in the Forest Service Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) are updated daily from the Forest Service Recreation Portal. 2. Data are delivered from the Recreation Portal through an XML document feed located at http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/extract/EDW.zip 3. Data are spatially enabled into point data using the Latitude/Longitude fields in the XML feed. 4. Recreation data from the XML feed where the RECAREANAME field contains the word Trail but not TrailHead are not included in the EDW Recreational point data. 5. This data is also re-purposed into markers and links for the Interactive Visitor Map. 20210101 Vector Entity point 14473 S_USA.RecreationOpportunities A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference. http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/GISDictionary/term/feature%20class SHAPE Feature geometry.
