City of Durango: Economic Impacts of Whitewater Recreation Final Report 2006 <br />RAFTING <br />Having <br />established the <br />market reaches <br />and the travel tolerance within each reach, participation <br />rates can be applied <br />to the population <br />totals and forecasted totals to estimate the number of <br />private <br />rafters in each <br />reach (see table <br />A6. Private Rafters by Market Reach). <br />Table A6. Private Rafters by Market Reach <br />Total 896 1166 2227 <br />The 2005 estimates were established by multiplying the population of each market reach by the <br />2005 Outdoor Recreation Participation Study by Outdoor Industry Foundation "enthusiast" rafting <br />participation rate: 1.1 %. 2015 'Low' estimates are based on no change in the rafter <br />participation rate. 2015 'High" estimates are based on the linearly projected 2015 participation <br />rate of 2.1%. <br />Establishing rafter user days in each reach was a matter of multiplying the average annual user <br />days (3 days per year per rafter according to, 2005 Outdoor Recreation Participation Study by <br />Outdoor Industry Foundation and the Super Study of Sports Participation by American Sports <br />Data Inc.) by the number of rafters in each reach. <br />Table A7.
