Description: Appendix C: RIVER-RELATED RECREATIONAL BOATING
Definition
The present study focuses on river-related recreational boating which is dependant on flowing waters and the use of a “waterway trail”. Consequently, river resources were identified which were of importance mainly to recreational activities using open and closed canoes, kayaks, and inflatable rafts. In order to represent a broad range of recreational boating interests, the general recreational boating category has been subdivided into three more specific categories, which identify distinct recreational boating activities and river users. These three categories are as follows:
a. Canoe Touring – Rivers and river segments which are navigable in an open canoe by novice to intermediate paddlers and which contain predominantly flat water, quickwater, and Class I rapids.
b. Whitewater Boating – Rivers and river segments which are navigable in canoes, kayaks, or rafts by intermediate to expert boaters and which contain a significant number of Class II to Class V rapids. c. Backcountry Excursion Rivers – Rivers located in natural environments which are of adequate length to provide an extended river camping experience. These rivers may contain any combination of white water and/or canoe tour boating.
