The point map displays the locations of accessible recreation sites throughout New York State that are owned, maintained or jointly managed by the Department of Environmental Conservation. Site locations are based on satellite photo, DEC Land boundaries, waterbody location and road locations. GPS locations were recorded for some sites, especially DEC Region 6. Locations of other sites were based on directions and descriptions given by DEC staff. While most points represent a single accessible site, a few represent a destination grouping of nearby and related accessible facilities.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) oversees more than 250 state parks, historic sites, recreational trails, golf courses, boat launches and more, encompassing nearly 350,000 acres, that are visited by 74 million people annually. These facilities contribute to the economic vitality and quality of life of local communities and directly support New York’s tourism industry. Parks also provide a place for families and children to be active and exercise, promoting healthy lifestyles. The agency is responsible for the operation and stewardship of the state park system as well as advancing a statewide parks, historic preservation, and open space mission. From the famed Bethpage Black, to the rolling terrain of the Robert Trent Jones' designed 18-hole course at Green Lakes State Park, New York's state park golf courses rank among the best public courses in the world.
