RECREATION AND VISITOR SERVICES

The Bureau of Land Management's recreation resources and visitor services support strong local economies and public land conservation. As we work to enhance recreational opportunities for the American family, we strive to remain a good neighbor. This means respecting how communities use the public lands, as well as including their voices in our management decisions.

As the public demands more access and diverse recreation opportunities, we will be focusing on sites that have the highest visitation to make any needed adjustments for a better experience. For example, we will evaluate how visitor services, travel management planning, and law enforcement may be improved for residents and visitors.
