Notes
- Data is sourced from official state GIS open-data layers — no authentication required.
- ArcGIS endpoints are key-free public REST services with
resultOffsetpagination. - Field availability varies by state (some agencies publish more detail than others).
- Coordinates are in WGS84 decimal degrees where published by the agency.
- Covers state access points only — federal sites (USACE, USFS, NPS) are served by separate recreation.gov / RIDB datasets.
