Class II. (Urban and Rural)

I

These areas are in a more natural setting, but with

a wide variety of man-made facilities. They are somewhat more

I

remote than the first category, but reasonably available to urban

I

centers, comprising a unit that lends itself to management by

regional park districts and local governments. Because of inten-

I
I

I

sity of use, most Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation

reservoirs and the associated recreation lands properly fit into

this category. States manage many areas for the Federal Government.

Class III. (Multiple Use or Natural Environment)

Areas further removed from population centers pro-

vide large acreages nationwide. This category usually provides

a very broad spectrum of recreation activities. These lands are

also used for fish and wildlife, timber production, grazing and

I

agriculture. The carrying capacity is comparatively low for

recreation purposes. They are typical of lands administered by

I

the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Corps of Engineers

and Bureau of Reclamation.

I

Classes IV (Natural) V (Primitive or Wilderness)
and VI (Historic and Cultural).

I

These areas include outstanding scenic features,

undeveloped areas and areas of historical and cultural significance.

I

Reservoirs can abut, approach upon and thus become an integral

I

part of the master plan for the use of that recreation land class.
