The relationship of demographic variables to participation in outdoor recreation has been studied with both practical and theoretical aims. However, the results of demographic analysis have been disappointing in their failure to verify an adequate model of prediction for population aggregates. The 1977 Outdoor Recreation Telephone Survey is analyzed with stepwise multiple regression, an associational matrix, and contingency tables. While variance accounted for ranges only from 1 to 10 percent in multiple regression analysis, the relationship of specific activities to age, sex, and other variables is found to be both useful and of substantive interest. Implications for theory and practice are outlined.
