Preface
The AIX reports are designed and intended primarily for use by the state park directors and their staff for various purposes, such as identifying program, facility and personnel needs, formulating budgetary requests for state legislatures, and comparing their programs with those of the other states. For such inhouse use, the reported data essentially speak for themselves and require little explanation or amplification. Over the years, however, state parks data published in the AIX have been increasingly requested, and presumably used, by a growing number of other individuals in academic institutions, other governmental agencies, and business and industry. Because of these expanding external interests, it is important that the subject data first be adequately understood so they may be properly applied. For that reason, every effort has been made in compiling this report to provide guidance for the user, as well as to ensure accuracy and completeness of the data themselves. Slight changes have been made in this report each year in format, organization and in the included subject matter. This current version contains the same types of information as in the past, presented in a manner intended to facilitate access and allow ready comparison with similar data for previous years. It is recommended that all users of the data in this report, whether veteran park staffers or novices, first carefully review the accompanying definitions, notes and symbols to make sure they have the best possible understanding before making assumptions or drawing conclusions based on this data set. Phil McKnelly Executive Director, NASPD Priscilla Geigis President, NASPD
The information contained in this report represents the most current data submitted by the states at the time of publication. Updated data are available from the National Association of State Park Directors and the AIX Project Team.
Introduction
All data in this report are for the period between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, or for the status as of that date, whichever is applicable. Please note that the title of this report has changed since 2009 to clearly reflect the time period covered by the data, not the year in which the report is published. All data are provided by the state park agencies for their respective states. Where exact data are not collected by certain states, those states are requested to estimate as accurately as possible rather than omit responses altogether. If current year data were not provided by the state, prior year data were used. Reasonable efforts were made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all reported data. For example, data entries were compared with previous years data to identify unusual changes, and total values were checked for possible calculation errors. Apparent input errors were marked on the draft report distributed in December 2012 to facilitate review and correction by the states. For these and other possible errors individual states were also contacted to verify the data item(s) in question. We believe this error-checking process has resulted in a more accurate data set. However, users are advised to contact the individual states directly if further verification is desired. This report contains only tabulated raw data. Analysis and interpretation is the responsibility of the individual user. While all of the fifty state park systems share common attributes, they nevertheless vary considerably from state to state. For this reason, total comparability among the reported data cannot be achieved. Effort has been made, however, to devise common denominators that will allow a useful degree of comparison. Users of these data should become familiar with the definitions and guidelines established for certain categories, as set forth below. The following sections are organized by tables. Each table corresponds to the respective AIX worksheet that was distributed to each state. As each table/worksheet has many columns they are broken down into several pages for display in report format. Each section starts with a brief introduction followed by the data tables. At the end of each table there are explanatory notes. Finally, definitions of terms are provided at the end of the report.
Table 1: Inventory
(page 1 of 5) Inventory pertains to the real property assets of a state park system, i.e. the various areas of land and water managed directly by the state parks agency. Inventory is measured in terms of number of areas and total acreage.

(page 5 of 5) Explanatory Notes
STATE Arizona NOTES The total number of areas in the system has decreased as a result of how we are tracking an area. San Rafael Ranch House and San Rafael Natural Area were counted as separate areas in the past because of how and when the areas were added to our system. We are now including them as one area for the purpose of this report. A recent inventory of the trails system resulted in a significant change in the number of trails. The same inventory changed the reported number of trail system miles by about 50 miles total. Colorado closed operations at one state park in the October 2011. This was principally due to problems with the reservoir dam and loss of water rights in the area resulting in loss of the reservoir. Most of the property is now a State Wildlife Area. Colorado State Parks and Colorado Division of Wildlife began merging into one agency starting in July 2011. By July 2012, most agency operations were organizationally merged. Numbers reported for FY11-12 are for the State Parks system in Colorado. Only property numbers and acres are reported above. Other numbers in this report show the numbers for the State Parks system. Other and Misc Areas: Includes State Trails and Greenways now managed by the Florida Park Service. No Change in Data. No changes in Table 1 for FY2011/2012. ACW Other/Misc Areas are the state parks managed by county conservation boards. George Wyth and Stone had new acreage. The 167 acres at Stone will eventually be dedicated as a preserve and not a state park. KYState Parks GIS Analyst, Alex Thor, has assisted with the Total Acreage Inventory for the last 5 NASPD-AIX surveys. The GIS division has been corresponding with our state Finance & Administration Cabinet regarding the original deeds of parks' lands, while continuing to manage the boundaries and GIS data for our state parks. Costitution Square State Historic Site was sold & the land was transferred. KYState Parks also transferred 308 acres from Grayson Lake State Park and transferred another 19.5 acres to KYDept of Fish & Wildlife. As a result, our total acreage was decreased, compared to previous years data. Furthermore, Alex Thor reiterated that over the next 2-5 years, our acreage amounts may continue to change as he continues to dissect these historic deeds and attempt to accurately map out our State Parks boundaries. Louisiana was able to reopen two historical areas with assistance from friends groups and local communities and government agencies. Areas: two recreation areas were consolidated into a single area, thereby reducing the total number by one. Acreage changes: five acres were added at one state recreation area and half an acre was added at one state park. Trails: two previously separate trails were consolidated. For this period, all areas have been combined due to official designation as State Parks. The Maryland Park Service has 2 Major Rail Trails comprising 31.5 Miles and 653 acres. Individual parks have a total of 789 miles of trails and water trails The number of acres increased from last year by 2,155 acres. These acres are included in the other and miscellaneous acreage. Two additional recreation areas have been added to the Michigan State Park System, with the addition of Rockport and Menominee River Recreation Areas. Addition of LaSalle Lake State Recreation Area, this unit contained one additional State Scientific and Natural Area. Several new state forest recreation areas were identified in our tracking system. Several state trails were developed. Regarding state forest areas: Our division does not manage the entire state forest as a recreation unit. Instead we manage several campgrounds and picnic areas within the state forests. There are 62 of these campgrounds and picnic areas. Since these are just locations in a forest they do not have acreages. Past data (1 trail, 238 miles) reflected a single facility, Katy Trail State Park, as the only park solely dedicated to providing a trail.) The new data (233/933.3) is more reflective of the overall trail system in Missouri State Parks In FY 2012 the division deleted two 'Other, Miscellaneous Areas'; the decrease in acreage was approximately 121 acres. Change in acreage indicates changes in easements to existing parks and other conveyance recording. In FY 2012 the division also managed 2 additional sites that are classified as fishing access sites. Total Trails- Montana State Parks only manages trails within our state parks. We assist local clubs and communities through grant programs but do not manage any trails that may be established. Data not provided for 2008. Six recreation areas were transferred to local jurisdictions (city or county) to own, operate and manage as part of our restructuring and budget reduction plans. 237 acre added by purchase to Jericho Mtn state park. Vietnam Veterans Memorial State Park included as Historical Area in 10/11; Natural Areas: Broad Canyon; and Environmental Education Areas: Rio Grande Nature Center and Mesilla Valley Bosque State Parks. This table contains data from both the New Y ork State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and the New Y ork State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Information for New Y ork is based on the state's fiscal year, April 1 to March 31. The most recent new park is FDR Four Freedoms Park in New Y ork City. Park numbers and acreage changes are largely due to additions and exchanges within the park system. Eleven "Other" areas include 7 State Lakes (29,135 acres of water) and 4 State Rivers. In addition to the above figures, we also have 1965 acres along the Deep River State Trail and Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Mountain bogs are now counted as separate units. Seven properties were transferred to alternative operators. State Recreation Areas = SRA/SRS; Natural Areas = SNA/SNS; Historical Areas = SHS/SHA; Other & Miscellaneous includes Scenic Viewpoints, Waysides, Scenic Corridors, etc. "Operational" determined through use of the HUB asset management system. Trail info provided by Rocky Houston. PA continues to GPS its trails. As we continue to refine this program, the numbers of trails and mileage will be corrected. Other & Miscellaneous Areas have been incorporated into the total number of state parks. Aquired new land at Jones Gap State Park. Maintaining land at H. Cooper Black. Cummins Falls State Park dedicated in May 2012. Acres added - 5775 - state parks + 846 acres in natural areas= 6621 acres total Other - 19,135 acres held in conservation easements one trail added at Cummins Falls-1 mile. Approx. 5 miles new trail at Cumberland Trail TRAILS here consist only of our designated trailways and does not include all trails in SP, SHS, SNAs. Added two parks and an additional unit to Devils River SNA. Total Miles of Trails in 10/11 should be 97 also. State parks change in naming convention only. Former grouping of upland and island park is now divided into two separetely named parks. The state recreation areas relinguishment of 1 recreation area to another government entity. In the miscellaneous areas - relinguishment of 1 miscellaneous area to another government entity. Total state parks acreage is cumulative effect of multiple boundary corrections; state rec. is also a cumulative effect of one religuishment and multiple boundary corrections. Trail data refers to only our two rail trails. Total trails in all areas equal some 1000 miles. 2012 Updated Trails Data From GIS Data Compiled all trails including interpretive, ADA, Hiking, Mountain Biking, and equestrian from all state parks and historical areas. This also includes many miles of Hiking/Mountain Biking Trails at Glendo State Park. GIS Data edited and acres re-figured and added in aquired properties at Curt Gowdy State Park all properties accounted for. Trails have increased because of new trails built.

NOTES
Currently revamping the Alaska State Parks visitor counts. We do not have an accurate count for 2010 Note: Since no data were provided for Tables 3A and 3B for 2010-2011, data for these tables are from 2009-2010. >Cabins and Yurts are not separated from number of campers. They are included as overnight users. >Overnight Facility Use information, table 3C, is not available at this time. >Day-use attendance = visitors who paid day use entrance fees + annual pass users. In years 2009 and before, this data did not include annual pass users. Attendance numbers above include parks currently being operated by partners if data was available. >Fees are not collected at Yuma Quartermaster Depot and McFarland State Historic Park as they now serve as the City of Yuma and the City of Florence (respectively) Visitor Centers as well. >Arizona State Parks began using a reservation system for cave tour tickets and campground reservations in FY11. Because this system did not contain the tools which would have allowed parks to collect visitation information in the same way they have historically, visitation in FY11 should not be considered equivalent to that of years past. As the reservation system continues to develop, these numbers will become more reliable. Table 3b - 2010 Number of Group Sleeping Guests is reported as zero because these visitors are included in the numbers of campers California State Parks does not itemize visitation according to NASPD's classification of facilities. Table 3c - Cabin use total includes Crystal Cove SP beach cottages. Table 3c - 2010 Seasonal Facilities / Campsites is reported as zero because these visitors are included in the numbers of campers. California State Parks does not itemize visitation according to NASPD's classification of facilities. Table 3c - Number of lodge, cabin/cottage and group sleeping guests included in number of campers because these visitation data are not itemized. Year round Campsites = Killens (20%) + Del Seashore. Seasonal Campsites = Lums+Trap+Cape+Killens(80%) Year round Cabins = Killens+Del Seashore. Seasonal Cabins = Lums, Trap, Cape (cabins and Yurts). Lodging = Cape(Biden Center and Youth camps). Occupancy = rental nights x 2.9 (camping) and x 3.1 (cabins) All Florida State Park facilities are open year round, 365 days. Significant increase in visitation over last year due to Floridas Office of Greenways and Trails merging with the Florida Park Service in July 2011. The Florida Park Service now counts trail visitation with park visitation. . Table 3a: Figure for day visitors at non-fee areas is from 2010/2011, since this data is not available for 2011/2012. Change in seasonal occupancy due to correction in year-round occupancy. Campsites - no longer receive updated report. Will continue to use old number. Cabin rental nights now includes rent-a-camps for FY 2011/2012. ACW Group sleeping guests rental nights now include cottages from Lincoln & Shakamak and all group camps, rally camps and youth tents. Big Bone Lick State Park's status was re-categorized from a year-round campground to a seasonal campground, decreasing our number of year-round campgrounds to 5 (Fort Boonesborough State Park, General Butler State Resort Park, Green River Lake State Park, Levi Jackson State Park & Paintsville Lake State Park). Seasonal represents Apr - Oct. Fee Areas now exclude all areas where entrance fees are collected from "iron rangers," and payment, though required, is essentially voluntary. Camper nights from Table 3a are divided by average party size of 3. Attendance numbers include large scale events including the nationally televised Fourth of July at the Hatch Shell in Boston where an estimated 500,000 people attend. Attendance numbers also include attendance at pools. Number of campers: nights * avg 3 people per night per site. Number of Cabin/cottage: nights * avg 3 people per night per site. For budget savings rental season truncated in FY10. Opening dates moved from April 1 to May. New Cabin facility in FY10. On 1/1/12 MNDNR upgraded to a new overnight reservation system. This new system defines seasonal facilities differently that our previous system. Unfortunately the data from the two systems is not compatible. For this reason we are unable to separate season and year round usage for this year. Usage was also down significantly due to a one month shut down in July 2011. Visitation numbers and rental nights were based off actual revenue for FY2012. Numbers for FY2011 were based off a percentage of total revenue. Attendance system does not differentiate between lodging types (cabins, motel rooms, lodge rooms, etc). All lodging-type numbers are reported under Cabins. Table 3a: Non-fee Day Areas = all state parks. State Parks daily entrance fees are not charged to Montana residents. Visitors arriving in vehicles bearing Montana license plates at a state park for non-commercial purposes are granted free day-use access for all occupants of the vehicle. As of January 2012, residents pay an optional $6 state parks fee when registering light vehicles annually. Park attendance is estimated monthly using traffic counters for the following: 1,720,964 day visitors and 244,359 overnight visitors, totaling 1,965,323 park visitors in FY12. Fee Overnight Areas = all camping at state parks Table 3b: Number of cabin guests was actual counts by individual park managers and data from the reservation system. Cabin guests are included in overnight visitors counted in Table 3a). Table 3c: Park campsite rental nights were estimated from revenue generated. Fourteen parks are open for camping all year; eleven parks are open seasonally. The cabins category includes tipis, yurts and cabins, none of which are self-contained. Guests use the public restroom facilities. 3A: "Fee Area" includes comps. Non-fee attendance is not tracked (Hampton Beach, Franconia Notch & Crawford Notch). 3C: Cash report actuals, includes onsite-registration campsites (Coleman, Deer Mtn, Dry River, Monadnock, Pillsbury & Mt Sunapee). Cabins/Yurts guests are not separated out. The 10/11 Overnight Facility Use includes utilization summary report figures from the Reservations Contractor and estimated usage of cabins and lodge rooms at Elephant Butte Lake State Park. The 14 cabins were estimated at 50% occupancy rate and the 15 lodge rooms at a 33% annual occupancy rate. Campsites for Seasonal Facilities: New Mexico State Parks does not distinguish "seasonal use" in its counts. Attendance data includes information from OPRHP. 3a. Day visitors are not captured in the CRS. Day visitation is interpolated by subtracting overnight visitation from the total. 3b. "Lodge guests" reports Summit EE Center overnight visitation; "Cabins" reports MOMO & HARO; "Other" is FOFI; "Group" reports SILA & WIUM group camps. Former seasonal facilities now open year round under new central reservation system. 3c. Year round and seasonal nights are not captured in the CRS. We used the same multiplier as last year to make an estimated guess. 18.6% of campsites are oeprated year round. 81.4% of campsites are operated seasonally. Campsites are all sites except cabins and yurts Cabins are only cabins and yurts Lodge Rooms include Silver Falls & Wolf Creek for year round and Frenchglen for seasonal. PA Lodges include: The Inn at Bald Eagle and Kings Gap Environmental Education & Training Center We can only report total campsites sold and cannot differentiate seasonal sales. 3b visitation records do not differentiate overnight users by type of activity. We have several facilities (environmental education centers) for which we do not track rental nights. This is a very small portion of our overnight business. Table 3a) Effective FY12 - new park access fee of $10/vehicle/day or $30 vehicle annual pass. Overnight users are not required to pay an annual or daily access fee. 2011 Campsites based on # campers/party=4.7 2011 Campers=377665/4.7=80353 rental nights 80353 rental nightsX5.3% sites open seasonally = How to calculate

Definitions
Table 1: Inventory Areas are individual units, or pieces of property, managed as part of the state park system. The total acreage of a state park system includes water surface area only when the measured water bodies are wholly enclosed within the boundaries of a unit of the state park system. An operational area is one that is open for regular use by the visiting public, and normally implies an appropriate level of development and staffing. State park inventories are reported in the following defined categories by the individual states: State parks: Areas containing a number of coordinated programs for the preservation of natural and/or cultural resources and provision of a variety of outdoor recreation activities supported by those resources. State recreation areas: Areas where a clear emphasis is placed on the provision of opportunities for primarily active recreation activities. State natural areas: Areas where a clear emphasis is placed on protection, management and interpretation of natural resources or features. State historical areas: Areas where a clear emphasis is placed on protection, management and interpretation of cultural, historical and/or archaeological resources or features. State environmental education sites: Areas used exclusively or primarily for conducting educational programs on environmental subjects, natural resources, conservation, etc. State scientific areas: Areas set aside exclusively or primarily for scientific study, observation and experimentation involving natural objects, processes and interrelationships; any other allowable uses are secondary and incidental. State forests: Areas that, while under the direct administrative supervision and control of the state parks agency, are identified separately from the state park system and distinguished from state park units by having primarily a forest management and/or timber production role rather than a natural area and/or provision of recreation role. State fish/wildlife areas: Areas under the administrative supervision and control of the state parks agency that are identified and managed primarily for the propagation and recreational taking of fish and/or game (fishing and/or hunting areas). State trails: Linear areas outside any other unit of the state park system that provide primarily for trail-type recreational activities (hiking, cycling, horseback riding, etc.) and normally do not contain any land areas large enough to support non-trail activities. Other and Miscellaneous areas: (These were combined for the first time with the 2001 AIX) - Areas other than the above, that are considered special or significant enough in a particular state to warrant separate identification and treatment and/or areas that are not easily categorized or distinguished, or are not considered significant enough to warrant specification everything else. (As updated August, 2000) Table 2: Facilities Facilities are the man-made structures and improvements provided on state park areas and owned by the state to facilitate appropriate use of the parks by the visiting public. While these facilities take many forms for many different purposes, only a few have been selected for inclusion in this report. They are described and defined as follows: 56
Campsites, improved: Designated sites with access to electricity, running water and modern toilets, either through hook-ups or central facilities, or both. Campsites, primitive: Designated sites without access to utilities, other than primitive central restrooms (pit privies, holding tanks, etc.) and primitive water supply (pitcher pumps, etc.). Cabins/cottages: Individual, self-contained rental lodging units, usually free-standing, but possibly in multiple arrangements, such as duplexes or townhouses. These units are not included as part of a larger campground and typically do contain kitchens and indoor bathrooms. If a state has questions about how their units for this definition please call the NASPD Executive Director for further guidance. Lodges: Lodging facilities of varying size, but usually containing many rental units consisting primarily of sleeping rooms only, with either private or central bathrooms. Lodge rooms: Independent sleeping rooms or suites within a lodge that may be rented by themselves. Group sleeping facilities: Structures designed to be rented and/or used as sleeping quarters by identifiable groups, usually while conducting group programs in the parkdormitories. Restaurants: Facilities for preparing and serving food for consumption on the premises (eat in) by individuals or groups on a pay-as-you-go basis, having a seating capacity of 25 people or more. Golf courses: Any course containing at least nine regulation or par 3 holes. Marinas: Boat liveries containing multiple slips and providing at least some services (fuel, supplies, repairs, dry storage, etc.), as opposed to docks only. Swimming pools: Swimming facilities of various sizes and shapes with an impermeable basin and a chemically treated, recirculating water supply, available for general public use with or without a separate fee. Stables: Facilities for quartering horses for recreational use by the general public, either directly through rental of the horses themselves or indirectly through rental of the stalls. Ski slopes: The number of individual runs designated for independent concurrent use for downhill skiing. Table 3: Visitation and Use Day use: A recreational outing by individuals arriving and departing the same day. Overnight use: A recreational outing involving a stay overnight as an authorized part of the recreational experiencemay be indoors (lodges, cabins, etc.) or outdoors (camping). Fee areas: These are parks and other whole areas where entrance fees are charged and more reliable counts can be made. A fee area pertains to a whole area, and not to individual facilities or use areas within a park. Thus, users of campgrounds, swimming pools, etc., where a specific use charge is made would not be reported under fee areas unless there was also a general entrance fee for the park in which those facilities were located. Non-fee areas: Parks and other whole areas where no general entrance fee is charged and attendance must be estimated or determined through other meanseven though such parks and other similar areas contain facilities (such as campgrounds and swimming pools) that do require specific use charges. Overnight visitation is also reported by the type of overnight accommodations used: campsites, cabins/cottages, lodges, group facilities and other. 57
The extent to which overnight accommodations are used is measured by rental nights and reported separately for campsites, cabins/cottages and lodge rooms. Rental night: A rental night is a single nights use of a single rental unit of a given overnight facility, regardless of the size of the party occupying that rental unit. Thus, a party occupying a campsite for a full week would represent seven rental nights. Table 4: Capital Expenses Land acquisition is reported in two categories (1) by purchase with cash or equivalent value, (2) by other means (such as donations and transfers from other government programs). New construction is reported as the total cost of all construction initiated during the year, whether completed during that year or not. Table 5: Financing Operating expenditures: Includes only those expenditures for operation and maintenance of the state park system per se; excluded are other related expenditures for such things as grants-in-aid to other entities, debt service on bonds, etc. Fixed capital expenditures: Includes only those expenditures for land acquisition, park construction, etc. User fees are reported by the means of collection: individual visitor, passenger vehicle, bus, vehicle parking, and annual passes. For each type of fee, the rate is stated for both state residents and non-residents, and the number of parks where such a fee is charged is noted. Table 6: Personnel Salary ranges are reported for several general categories of personnel: Field unit employee: Employee having broad public contact, interpretative, and park maintenance dutiese.g. a park ranger. Field unit manager: Senior on-site employee; manages park, supervises subordinate personnele.g. a park superintendent. Field supervisor: Oversees operation of a number of units in a given regione.g. a district manager. Operations chief: The one position responsible for direct day-to-day operation of the whole park system; normally the one to whom field supervisors report. State park director: The one position responsible for overall direction of the state parks agency. Ranger: employee with administrative, operational, management, and/or law enforcement responsibilities as their primary function. Employee may be involved with other activities such as routine maintenance or interpretation as additional duties. Maintenance worker: employee with maintenance and upkeep being the primary responsibility. Interpreter or naturalist: employee involved in the education of the public as their primary responsibility. Employee may be assigned other duties.
