In Wisconsin, we are fortunate in that the state parks and trails are not only open, but have waived the normal usage fees so that they're free to all. And so many in my area live in good-sized houses with large yards, so have plenty of access to the outdoors w/o ever leaving home. I think that situation leads to a lot of the intolerance of others "breaking the rules" b/c it doesn't occur to the subdivision dwellers that someone might live in a tiny apartment surrounded by loud neighbors where getting away is absolutely necessary for both physical and mental health. I know I'm certainly guilty of assuming that b/c I have access to a certain resource, everyone else does too...
