As far as the types of trails people indicate they use, walking, hiking, OHV’s, and cycling/mountain biking use top the list of existing uses. Less popular uses included horseback riding, jeep trails, snowmobiling, paddling, cross-country skiing and dirt biking. The reason that these activities appear to be less popular is that people do not have the ability to do these activities or it’s just not their interest. These activities require having a horse, specific equipment, or a specific vehicle that fewer people are able to obtain. In order to identify the reasons why people don’t participate in different types of recreation, they were asked what prevents them from participating. In all cases that require special equipment, vehicles, or a horse, the greatest factor holding people back from participating was not being able. Within that group, the largest factors keeping people from using trails within the county are not knowing where to go. This reinforces the need for the county to promote their existing trails to residents and visitors so that they know where they can go to use trails.
