Research suggests that African-Americans participate in outdoor recreation less frequently than other racial/ethnic groups. With an increasing U.S. minority population, there is a need to better understand the perceptions and experiences of African-American outdoor recreation participants for several reasons. First, outdoor recreation is associated with positive health and wellness outcomes. Additionally, lack of access to public lands raises environmental justice concerns. Lastly, as demographics shift, the outdoor industry needs to increase in relevancy with minority groups. Racial and ethnic disparity in outdoor recreation participation is well-documented in the literature and is often attributed to several different leisure constraints. Despite these leisure constraints, some African-Americans are still participating in outdoor recreation activities. The purpose of this research was to gain a more comprehensive understanding of these African- Americans' outdoor recreation experiences. By taking an exploratory approach, various issues related to outdoor recreation experiences such as constraints, negotiation tactics, experiences, and motivations were explored. Using a qualitative research approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with fourteen African-American outdoor recreation participants. Findings outlined the ways in which these individuals are participating in outdoor recreation activities despite the constraining factors they face. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations for future research were provided. Additionally, recommendations for outdoor recreation practitioners and industry stakeholders were provided in order to make outdoor recreation more inclusive.
