Abstract
"Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to survey the major and associated outdoor recreational activities of Vermont and to present to the reader the immeasurable qualities inherent in the recreation industry. An attempt has been made throughout the study to show the importance of recreation to the state. This study was undertaken because of the lack of information on recreational geography and because of the importance of outdoor recreation to the economy of Vermont. A full explanation of all available resources and activities is not intended. Attention is instead focused on selected activities. This thesis presents some more insight into the entire topic of outdoor recreational geography as applied on a state-wide basis. It analyzes the recreational resource base of Vermont, the major and associated activities, the number of guests and their place of origin, the amount of money received from the recreation industry in Vermont, and the question of accessibility. Vermont was chosen as the area of study because of its recreational importance in all seasons of the year and because of the great part the tourist industry plays to the economy of Vermont. Vermont was also accessible to the author in the summers of 1959, 1960, and 1961. It is hoped that this study will help explain some of the major aspects of recreational geography on a state-wide basis and open the door to further studies."--Page 5.
