Abstract
Recreation opportunity planning incorporates the concept of a Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) into a planning system that combines relationships between natural resource settings, recreational activities, and the resulting recreationist experiences into six ROS classes of land and water areas. The ROS provides a framework for planning and managing recreation for experience objectives, aids in clarifying agency and private sector roles, and is a means of informing the recreating public what to expect from given resource settings. Both the USDA Forest Service and the USDI Bureau of Land Management have adopted recreation opportunity planning as part of their integrated land and resource management planning process.
