The paper presents a methodology for outdoor recreation analysis in a comprehensive State water resources planning study. This methodology applies to determination of recreation participation desires among the population, allocation of those desires to areas of potential resources within which they must be satisfied, comparison of the areal potential resources against the allocated desires to identify areas having recreational resource deficits or needs, and exploration of alternative solutions to the identified needs. Major elements discussed are: market area, inflow‐outflow, resource desire determination and projection, resource desire allocation, facility inventory, resource desire‐resource analysis and alternative solutions to identified needs of water‐oriented outdoor recreation.
