Book excerpt: Three major occurrences in recent years have emphasized a need for new data concerning reservoir-based recreation patterns. These occurrences were: (1) the increased rate of construction of new, large reservoirs by federal agencies; (2) the increasing demand for recreation space and fishing water; and (3) the establishment of large national recreation areas around federal reservoirs. The present project was designed to study the development of recreational use patterns at a new reservoir, around which a national recreation area was planned.
