Water -related recreation accounts <br />for a very high proportion of all recreational activity in the <br />Pacific Northwest. The recreational experience may be either an <br />active one involving boating, swimming, fishing or huntinn or the <br />1 experience may be passive such as enjoying the natural beauty of <br />a vista of a lake, river or saltwater area. <br />POLICIES <br />1. Give priority to developments which provide recreational uses <br />i and other improvements facilitating public access to shorelines. <br />2. Prevent concentration of use pressure at a few points by <br />encouraging the development of a combination of area and linear <br />access (parking areas and easements for example), when oro- <br />viding public access to recreational locations such as fishing <br />streams and hunting areas. <br />3• Strongly encourage the linkage of shoreline parks and public <br />access points through the use of linear access. Many types <br />of connections can be used such as hiking paths, bicycle trails <br />and/or scenic drives. <br />4 <br />5 <br />0 <br />7• <br />Carefully consider the total effect the development of a <br />recreational site will have on the environmental quality and <br />natural resources of an area. <br />Develop guidelines for the preservation and enhancement of scent <br />views and vistas. <br />Avoid wasteful use of the limited supply of recreational shoreline <br />areas by locating parking areas inland array from the immediate <br />edge of the water and recreational beaches. Safe access should be <br />provided by walkways or other methods. <br />Prohibit the use of motorized vehicles on beaches, dunes and <br />fragile shoreline resources. <br />Encourage a variety of recreational facilities which will satisfy <br />the diversity of demands from groups in nearby populated centers. <br />9. Allow intensive recreational developments only where sewage disposal <br />and vector control can be accomplished to meet public health <br />standards without adversely altering the natural features attractive <br />for recreational use. <br />F-49 <br />
