Outdoor recreation is a wonderful means of enjoyment for men, women and children of all ages.

It provides a way to get outside and enjoy the natural surroundings and to breathe in the fresh air. Aside from discovering nature's many wonders, the outdoors provides for unlimited activities that never fails to keep us wanting to go back outside for more. The benefits of outdoor recreation are endless and will help keep you and your family physically and mentally healthy.

Getting outside to enjoy a beautiful day isn’t a personal indulgence. It’s a good idea. Dr. Andrew Lepp, assistant professor of recreation, park and tourism management at Kent State, provides a few of the many benefits of outdoor recreation.
 
Enjoying outdoor recreation, such as mountain biking, isn’t an indulgence; it provides benefits for your mind, body, spirit and the economy.

  1. Good for the mind. Outdoor recreation has psychological benefits, including the prevention or reduction of stress; improved self-esteem, confidence and creativity; spiritual growth; and an increased sense of exhilaration, adventure and challenge from life.
  2. Good for the body. Getting outside provides physical benefits, such as aerobic, cardiovascular and muscular fitness, as well as improved functioning of the immune system.
  3. Even better for your social life. The great outdoors afford social benefits like bonding with like-minded people who enjoy outdoor activities and feeling an increased pride in your community and nation.
  4. Good for the economy. Outdoor recreation pays off with economic benefits too: People who regularly participate in outdoor recreation tend to be more productive at work. Outdoor recreation creates job opportunities for others, which leads to economic growth. And the preservation of the natural areas needed for outdoor recreation increases property values.
  5. Great for the great outdoors. Outdoor recreation provides environmental benefits, including increased environmental awareness. Concern that results from outdoor recreation can lead to increased involvement in environmental issues. http://einside.kent.edu/?type=art&id=82928
