Michigan Outdoor Recreation Plan PDF Download

In developing the 2013-2017 SCORP update, the Michigan Department of Natural al Resources (MDNR) undertook a variety of efforts to engage the public, recreation providers, and other outdoor recreation stakeholders in identifying key recreational assets, priorities, and strategies for the coming five years. These stakeholders provided significant direction on how the state and local communities could better collaborate to approach management of Michigan's entire system of parks and outdoor recreation spaces, and many of these stakeholders will be active partners in implementing the objectives and strategies identified in the SCORP. The overarching goal for the 2013-2017 SCORP is to: Protect and manage Michigan's diverse and abundant natural assets to meet the fun, relaxation, and health needs of Michigan's residents and visitors, and the economic development needs of the state and local communities.
