2017 Washington State TrailsSource

In 2007, Washington State legislators requested a trails database, but funding to complete that statewide project was not made available at the time. In 2009, the Federal Government outlined the need for trails database schema in their Data Standards Review Committee, stressing the efficiency in management decisions that a streamlined database can provide. “The collection, storage and management of trail related data are important components of everyday business activities in many federal and state land-managing agencies, trail organizations and businesses. From a management perspective, trails data must often mesh closely with other types of infrastructure, resource and facility enterprise data.” In 2014, the Washington State Office of the Chief Information Officer's (OCIO) Geospatial Program Office acquired a Nonhighway and Off-Road Vehicle Activities (NOVA) Program grant through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) giving the OCIO initial funding to develop a statewide trails database based on Federal Geographic Data Committee standards. Using the same standard for all trails data will allow land managers and recreational users throughout the state to access and use the data regardless of administrative boundary. "Data standards will make it easier for trail information to be accessed and exchanged and used by more than one individual agency or group…Ease in sharing data increases the capability for enhanced and consistent mapping, inventory, monitoring, conditions assessment, maintenance, costing, budgeting, information retrieval, and summary reporting for internal and external needs.” Along with streamlining data and facilitating efficiency in management practices across agencies, the database will provide a source of trails information that is open and free to the public. The 2016 State Legislature provided additional funding from the Nonhighway and Off-road Vehicle Activities Account to the Office of the Chief Information Officer to continue work on the database. Additional details about the project can be found here: http://rco.wa.gov/recreation/WashingtonStateTrailsMap.shtml Please note that this map and its component services have been designed to work together as part of the web application.

National Nature ReservesSource

Most reserves contain nationally or internationally important habitats and species, so the wildlife is managed very carefully. Visitor facilities are designed and managed to ensure that people can enjoy NNRs without harming or disturbing the wildlife that lives there.Scotland has 43 NNRs; these are special places, showcasing the very best of Scotland’s nature, and cover just under 2% of Scotland’s land area.SNH formally declares the National Nature Reserves Partnership’s recommended places under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.More information about the designation and background about NNRs can be found on the NatureScot website.Complete metadata record on spatialdata.gov.scot

PARKS - ADA Information PointsSource

Points that hold information relating to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)-related recreational features available at Washington State Parks. These points indicate which state parks contain which types of recreational features that are compliant with ADA requirements. For specifics about features, see the park's web page (hyperlink available by clicking on the point). This layer is used in the web application ADA Accessible Features Finder.   To download this and other data from Washington State Parks, go to geo.wa.gov and search for "wsprc" (Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission).

PARKS - CampsitesSource

Locations and campsite numbers of campsites within Washington State Parks. Data is not complete; development of this dataset is ongoing. For more information, and to make on-line campsite reservations, see https://washington.goingtocamp.com/.Attribute Definitions:·        Name - The name of the campsite. The name is most often represented as a number, but sometimes has additional characters.·         ParkName - Name of the Washington State Park the campsite is located in.·         ParkCode - The five-digit code representing the Washington State Park.·         Join - A concatenation of Name and ParkCode, used for tablejoining purposes.·         Keylink - A concatenation of Name and ParkName, used for tablejoining purposes.·         Filter - Flags the campsite as inactive. Campsites are assumed to be active, depending on the time of year, if this field contains 'active' or is blank.·         SourceNotes - Describes the source of the campsite locations and names. This is most often taken from the maps on the Washington State Parks online campsite reservation system (https://washington.goingtocamp.com/).To download this and other data from Washington State Parks, go to geo.wa.gov and search for "wsprc" (Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission).

The Global Reservoir and Dam DatabaseSource

The Global Reservoir and Dam Database, Version 1, Revision 01 (v1.01) contains 6,862 records of reservoirs and their associated dams with a cumulative storage capacity of 6,197 cubic km. The dams were geospatially referenced and assigned to polygons depicting reservoir outlines at high spatial resolution. Dams have multiple attributes, such as name of the dam and impounded river, primary use, nearest city, height, area and volume of reservoir, and year of construction (or commissioning). While the main focus was to include all dams associated with reservoirs that have a storage capacity of more than 0.1 cubic kilometers, many smaller dams and reservoirs were added where data were available. The data were compiled by Lehner et al. (2011) and are distributed by the Global Water System Project (GWSP) and by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN). For details please refer to the Technical Documentation which is provided with the data.The Global Reservoir and Dam Database, Version 1, Revision 01 (v1.01) contains 6,862 records of reservoirs and their associated dams with a cumulative storage capacity of 6,197 cubic km.

WATrailheads AllSource

The trailhead database was created in conjunction with the Washington State Trails Database project. The attributes included in this database were chosen to supplement information found in the trails database, so using the two together is recommended. This project did not create new georeferenced locations; the aim was to design a geodatabase, include as many existing trailheads as possible, and answer common questions regarding use and availability. It is not comprehensive. Additional details about the project can be found here: http://www.rco.wa.gov/recreation/WashingtonStateTrailsMap.shtml Please note that this service has been designed to supplement other services in the map and web application.
