Steamtown National Historic Site hosted 106,309 recreation visits in 2012. Adjustments for visitor group size and re-entries resulted in 29,353 visitor group trips to the park in 2012. Based on a 2012 Visitor Services Project survey conducted August 5-11, 48% of these visitor group trips were made by local residents or non-locals on day trips, not including an overnight stay within 60 miles of the park. Thirty percent of visitor group trips involved an overnight stay in a lodge, hotel, motel, cabin, B&B, etc. in the local area, and 2% were overnight camping stays in the local area. Twenty percent of visitor group trips were overnight stays in non-paid lodging, such as private homes. Visitors reported their groups expenditures in the park and within 60 miles of the park. Visitor groups spent an average of $178 on their trips. Eighty-five percent of visitor spending took place in the area outside the park.
