The SCORP process collects and updates a lot of data every five years. This page seeks to make that data available for public use. As this one-year study progressed, data resources have been aggregated and an interactive means of accessing this data is provided through this web page.
LWCF Funded Recreation Sites
The federal government through the Land and Water Conservation Fund program has provided funding assistance to state and local agencies for outdoor recreation sites. Over 735 sites across Louisiana are mapped and displayed via this interactive map. Click the image below to launch and explore this information.
LORI
Louisiana’s Outdoor Recreation Inventory (LORI) will be a collection of online tools and data sets available for public use. Presently, geographic data from the 2020 SCORP process is still being processed and aggregated for digital publication. The above map provides an example of the features yet to come. New data layers in progress include federal and state lands, and parks or facilities provided by parish, municipal or recreation district agencies.
