Did you know, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 10% of the United States is forest lands? Five percent of that number is reserved land for wildlife preserves and state and national forests. According to Enchanted Learning, the United States of America comprises 3.79 million square miles. If five percent of that is reserved, that means there are 189,500 miles for lovers of the outdoors to explore for fishing, hiking, and horseback riding.
Despite the wide amount of available land, or perhaps because of it, it can be difficult for us to find exciting places to go for these activities. Recreational magazines help outdoor hobbyists of all types to find great locations, new techniques and gear, and to provide them with the knowledge to be safe doing so. Here are three great recreation magazines for fishers, hikers, and equestrians.
- Horse and Rider Magazine
- Backpacker Magazine
- Sport Fishing
