The Bureau of Land Management manages recreation resources and visitor services on public lands to support strong local economies and public land conservation. The wide variety of diverse landscapes across BLM-managed public lands offer unique opportunities and memorable experiences for visitors.
In an increasingly urbanized West, these recreational opportunities and settings are vital to the quality of life enjoyed by residents and visitors.
Visitors to the public lands enjoy countless types of outdoor adventure – participating in activities as widely varied as camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, boating, whitewater rafting, hang-gliding, off-highway vehicle driving, mountain biking, birding and wildlife viewing, photography, climbing, all types of winter sports, and visiting natural and cultural heritage sites.
