Economic Impact of Recreational Trail use in Different Regions of Minnesotahttps://hdl.handle.net/11299/168117The main objective of this report is to present the local economic impacts of trail use in various regions of the state. These impacts are based on estimates by Kelly (2009a, 2009b, 2009c) on total person-days and user spending for each of 10 trails in five study regions of the state. Kelly’s method and procedures using the “2004 Outdoor Participation Study of Minnesotans: Report on Findings” (Kelly, 2005), the 2008 UMN survey of Minnesota trail users and other DNR and federal studies to estimate person-days of use and spending are presented in this report.enEconomic impactrecreationtrailstouristsnorthwestnortheastcentralMetro Areasouthwalkinghikingbicycle ridingsnowmobileATVconsumer spendingReport
