Any time of year, state recreation areas off er endless
experiences to suit your interests. They are places where you
can make a lifetime of memories with families and friends,
hear laughter fi lling the air over an open campfi re or where the
beaches will invite you to be a kid again.
Recreation is for those that dare to be in it: It's where hikers
and bikers go off -road; kayakers paddle calm waters; boaters feel
the warm sting of air over their faces; and hunters experience the
thrill of the fl ush.
These are your recreation areas, and there are 58 of them. They
are ready for you to explore, relax in, play in. Come fi nd your state
of recreation.
