Recreation Mapping

When it comes to recreation there are lots of activities you can put onto a map. The different activities that could go on a map could be camping, snowboarding, skiiing, cross country skiing, good hiking areas, fishing, swimming, boating, etc.. Below is a link to a map of Massachusetts shoing different recreation activities to do.

What they do on the second page is list all of the state parks or forests in Massachusetts. Next to each of the forests or state parks there are a bunch of columns. Each column is a different recreation activity. If the site has a certain recreation activity it puts an X under that category.


This is map of the hiking trails at the Blue Hills Reservation in Eastern MA near Boston. The top of this mountain has a really nice view. You can see the entire Boston Skyline from the top. Blue hills only has a few trails but this map is very useful when you're planning a hike.
