Eleven Point National Scenic River (EPNSR): Visitor survey data from 2019

These data describe a visitor use survey administered from February to November 2019 on the Eleven Point National Scenic River (EPNSR) in Oregon County, Missouri. A mail-back survey (n = 298 usable responses) included questions about trip characteristics, respondents’ demographics, activity type, environmental and social perceptions, and opinions regarding policy and management issues. Data were collected from users accessing the river at five different locations.
This study was designed to update a visitor profile of those recreating at EPNSR by developing user profiles to guide future recreational policies and management decisions. The study also explored factors related to users’ level of place attachment and activity involvement theories.
The Eleven Point National Scenic River is also referred to as the Eleven Point River (EPR). For information regarding previous studies on the EPNSR see cross-references listed below.
