Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan

Each state must prepare a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) every five years to remain qualified for stateside Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). In Oregon, the plan functions not only to guide the LWCF program, but also provides guidance for other OPRD administered grant programs including the Local Grant, County Opportunity Grant, Recreational Trails, and All-Terrain Vehicle Programs. 

It also provides recommendations to the Oregon State Park System operations, administration, planning, development, and recreation programs. Finally, the plan provides guidance to federal, state, and local units of government, as well as the private sector, in delivering quality outdoor recreational opportunities to Oregonians and out-of-state visitors. 

2025-2029 SCORP Plan

The 2025-2029 Oregon Statewide Outdoor Recreation Plan, titled Balance and Engagement: Sustaining the Benefits for all Oregonians, constitutes Oregon's basic five-year plan for outdoor recreation.
