Recreation - Nationwide Recreational Opportunities
The Corps of Engineers is one of the Nation's largest providers
of outdoor recreation, operating more than 2,500 recreation
areas at 463 projects. To learn more, see the following website:
http://www.usace.army.mil.
For New England specific Corps sites see: http://www.nae.usace.army.mil/recreati/recreati.htm
For other Corps sites around the Nation visit: http://corpslakes.usace.army.mil/visitors/
They also lease an additional 1,800 sites to State or local
park and recreation authorities or private interests. The
Corps hosts about 360 million visits a year at its lakes,
beaches and other areas, and estimates that 25 million Americans
visit a Corps project at least once a year. Additional recreational
facilities nationwide can be located through: http://www.recreation.gov.
Since the vast majority of our recreation areas are located
next to water, the Corps, in partnership with other agencies,
is active in the National Water Safety Program. Visit this
program's site: http://watersafety.usace.army.mil/
for materials to teach and promote water safety at home or
in the classroom, and for links to other water safety sites.
