Hiking and outdoor enthusiasm is an important part of our economy and can bring benefits to local communities. In addition, to being a positive cultural enhancement it also a healthy lifestyle choice. Difficulties in outdoor activities range from the short stroll to extreme rock climbing thereby accommodating nearly all activity level needs. You may want to look at a few of the outdoor trends in the 2021 Outdoor Participation Trends Report.
-53% of Americans over the age of 6 have engaged in recreational sports.
-Less devoted outdoor enthusiasts (of which I am one) but more casual.
-In general less people participated in outdoor recreation.
(Side note: Outdoor recreation brings with it opportunities. Some places in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan have seen increased outdoor participation. Here is a little article on capitalizing on outdoor enthusiasm to encourage local investment. Adventure-Venture Tourism)
