While more time consuming that getting data files from the National Forest Services, they do have this cool interactive map that you might be able to generate your own data set. The Lower Peninsula's accessible parks seem to be congregated in Huron National Forest - could potential expand beyond National Forest to other public lands (e.g., National Parks Services have an interactive map too).

I think looking into the MI Census information would provide interesting insights as well to help build an argument why Public Lands need to increase accessibility in parks. As you are working on this project, it is perfectly ok if you don't do a "complete/perfect" project, but if you use this as a starting off point for a longer (i.e., beyond STA 518 and as you continue your program. This could be part of your project - e.g., what do you want/need to continue building on this project? If your program requires a thesis, a questionnaire design/analysis might be something to build towards.
