National Recreation Lakes Act of 2001

The National Recreation Lakes Act of 2001 proposes to improve and modernize recreational facilities at federally managed lakes and reservoirs. The bill would establish a demonstration program to test new management strategies and create a leadership council to better coordinate recreation policies between agencies like the Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps of Engineers. For the public, this would likely result in better-maintained boat ramps, campgrounds, and docks through a cost-sharing program that helps state and local agencies fund the reconstruction of aging facilities.
