Interviews of land managers and mail surveys of local landowners, business owners, and campers were used to collect data in the Saranac Lakes Wild Forest area of New York’s Adirondack Park concerning the values, beliefs, and attitudes of stakeholders towards participation in three types of boating: non-motorized, motorized, and personal watercraft (e.g., jetski).
The results of this study can be used by forest managers throughout the northeast to better understand differences in perceptions between stakeholder groups towards water-based recreation.
The objectives of this study were to:
- • determine differences and similarities between the values, beliefs, and attitudes of landowners, business owners, and campers in the Saranac Lakes Wild Forest area towards participation in three types of boating; and
- • identify the relationships between the values, attitudes, and beliefs of the three stakeholder groups.
