How much outdoors does Terre du Lac have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Terre du Lac is ahead of 12% of U.S. towns, #226 of 247 in Missouri. Trail miles hold the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.
Few Missouri towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Terre du Lac’s under 1% is ahead of 4% of Missouri towns, while its trails per square mile lead 86% of them.
Water is 8% of Terre du Lac’s area (1 of 8 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
