Steps

  1. Query https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_RecreationOpportunities_01/MapServer/0
  2. Use standard ArcGIS REST query parameters (where, outFields, f=geojson) to filter by state, forest, or site type
  3. Join results with attribute fields describing site amenities and accessibility
  4. Page through results per the service's ArcGIS REST pagination limits
  5. Cache locally, since EDW recreation layers update on an infrequent administrative cycle, not real-time
