Abstract: Clearwater National Forest Recreation Opportunity Spectrum

Purpose:

Nationally the Forest Service uses a system called the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) to inventory and classify National Forest System lands. The range of recreational experiences, opportunities, and settings available on a given area of land is classified through the ROS. Classifications include: Primitive, Semiprimitive-Motorized, Semiprimitive Nonmotorized, Roaded Natural, Rural, and Urban. The Forest Service typically plans and manages for recreational experiences through the application of the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS). The ROS is a framework for inventorying, planning, and managing the recreational experience and setting. The public perceives recreation as more than just camping, fishing, and hiking. Research has shown that people choose a specific setting for each of these activities in order to realize a desired set of experiences. For example, hiking on a natural-surfaced trail in a remote setting with few facilities may offer some visitors a sense of solitude, challenge, and self-reliance. In contrast, a hard-surfaced, interpretive, loop trail in an area with facilities and amenities may offer more comfort, security, and social opportunities for other visitors. Maintaining a spectrum of these classes is very important to provide people with choices.

The Forest Service uses the most current and complete data available. GIS data and product accuracy may vary. They may be: developed from sources of differing accuracy, accurate only at certain scales, based on modeling or interpretation, incomplete while being created or revised, etc. Using GIS products for purposes other than those for which they were created, may yield inaccurate or misleading results. It is highly recommended that before any conclusions or analysis is processed using this data that the data be discussed with a resource specialist in the particular field. The Forest Service reserves the right to correct, update, modify, or replace, GIS products without notification.

Process_Description:

Diana Jones, Forest Landscape Architect digitized ROS lines from quad maps prepared for the 1987 Forest Plan. Colleen Fahy, Resource Info Specialist for revision team converted the lines to polygons within the forest boundary and labeled polys. Diana reviewed and a few corrections were made. NOTE: North Lochsa Face EIS changed condition is reflected in this coverage. modified 2005 for North Lochsa Face project area.

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

Experience Characterization
p = primitive - extremely high probability of expereiencing isolation from the sights and sounds of humans, independence, closeness to nature, tranquility and self-reliance through the application of woodsman and outdoor skills in an environment that offers a high degree of challenge and risk.
spnm = semi primitive, non-motorized - high, but not extremely high probability of experiencing isolation from the sights and sounds of humans, independence, closeness to nature , tranquility and self-reliance through the application of woodsman and outdoor skills in an environment that offers a high degree of challenge and risk.
spm = semi-primitive motorized - moderate probability of experiencing isolation from the sights and sounds of humans, independence, closeness to nature , tranquility and self-reliance through the application of woodsman and outdoor skills in an environment that offers challenge and risk. Opportunity to have a high degree of interaction with the natural enviornment. Opportunity to use motorized equipment while in an area.
rn = roaded natural - about equal probability to experience affiliation with other user groups and for isolation from sights and sounds of humans. Opportunity to have a high degree of interaction with the natural environment. Challenge and risk opportunities associated with more primitive type of recreation are not very important. Practice and testing of outdoor skills might be important. Opportunities for both motorized and non-motorized forms of recreation are possible.
rm = roaded modified
pvt = private lands
