<br />Recreation Activities <br /> <br />The stream-oriented recreation activities considered in this report <br />are shown below: <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Fishinq <br />Wading <br />Boat, power <br />Boat, nonpower <br /> <br />Water Contact <br />Swimming <br />Wading <br />Water skiing <br /> <br />Boatinq <br />Sailing <br />Low power <br />Hi gh power <br />Canoeing-Kayaking <br />Rowing-rafting-drifting <br />Tubing-floating <br /> <br />'0 <br /> <br />Definitions <br /> <br />Fishing <br />Wading: fishing while walking in the stream. <br />Boat power: fishing from a power boat. <br />Boat nonpower: fishing from a nonpower boat. <br /> <br />Water Contact <br />Swimming: propelling oneself through the water with no, <br />or only occasional, contact with the bottom. <br />Wading: walking in the water, including water play. <br />Water skiing: being towed behind a boat on skiis. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Boating <br />Sailing: wind powered boating. <br />Low power: power boating, motor less than 50 horsepower. <br />High power: power boating, motor greater than 50 horsepower. <br />Canoeing-kayaking: using a canoe or kayak in a river. <br />Rowing-rafting-drifting: using a row boat, raft, or drift <br />boat in a river. <br />Tubing-floating: floating on a device which is not a <br />full-sized boat or raft. May include <br />inner tubes, small rafts, air mattresses, <br />etc. This activity is also a water contact <br />activity. It is placed here for its simi- <br />larity to rowing-rafting-drifting. <br /> <br />PROBABlLlTY-OF-USE CURVES <br /> <br />Development of recreation probability-of-use curves builds upon the <br />recreation criteria discussed in the previous section. Minimum, maxi- <br />mum, and optimum criteria are translated into probablities-of-use and <br />recreation probability curves are developed. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />'. . <br />
