Costs for developed recreation sites in the Norther Region, USDA Forest Service

Increasingly restrictive budgets, coupled with the information needs of quantitative forest planning models, compet managers to be more concerned with the costs of providing developed recreation opportunities in the Northern Region. The research being reported here studied 259 sites, almost half of those existing in 1980. Data were obtained from a variety of sources-personal interviews, facility inventory records, accounting records, and more. Estimates were made for planning costs, construction costs, and operation and maintenance costs. Costs that did not occur annually were annualized (amortized) at 4 and 7 percent real discount rates. On an annualized basis (discounted at 4 percent), major interpretive sites are the most costly in the Northern Region, with an average annualized cost of about 360 per PAOT (Pearson At One Time); annual costs for observation sites are least costly, averaging about 38 per PAOT. Annualized costs for other types of recreation sites are provided on the basis of the experience level for which they were designed. Information is presented to convert costs per PAOT to a site and recreation use level basis. For example, the annualized costs per major interpretive site is about 53,000. Finally, cost estimation equations are presented. Each permits estimation of total annualized costs per site as a function of PAOT capacity, and remoteness or fee payment where appropriate.
