City of Durango: Economic Impacts of Whitewater Recreation Riol Report 2006
• 2015 events could yield between $707,676 and $3.2 million annually in positive
economic benefits to the Durango Region.
• Total employment associated with whitewater recreation on the Lower Animas River in
2015 is estimated between 591 and 717 PTE (Part Time Equivalent).
• Because many other communities are enhancing and expanding whitewater parks in
direct competition with Durango, the Lower Animas Whitewater Park will require
significant improvements and assured flows to maintain or expand its portion of the
existing market share into the future.
