- Segment contains moderate rapids (Class II to III) more 

 suitable for Whitewater canoeing, rafting and kayaking. 



- Segment contains large rapids (Class III to V) most 

 suited to advanced Whitewater rafting and kayaking. 



- Water not boated (reason will be provided). 



2 . Opportunities for water-based recreational activities . 



These were the developed and dispersed uses that currently 

 took place on or along the river segment. Activities included 

 kayaking, rafting, canoeing, innertubing, fishing from bank or 

 shore, swimming, motor boa ting , and other activities as needed. 

 Each activity present along a segment was rated as either primary 

 (one of the main reasons people visited the segment) or secondary 

 (an activity that currently took place, but was not one of the 

 most important segment uses). 



3 . Land-based recreation activities . 



These were the developed and dispersed uses that currently took 

 place along the river segment. Activities included tent camping, 

 car camping, motorized and n on - mo t or iz ed trail use, scenic 

 viewing, picnicking, and other activities as needed. Activities 

 were designated as primary or secondary. 



4 . Current use levels . 



If quantitative measures or estimates were available (in visits, 

 visitor-days or other form) they were used (note: in this case, 

 river segment use levels also were rated the following way). If 

 quantitative figures or estimate were not available, use was 

 estimated using the following three categories: 



- Heavy or concentrated recreational use; on a typical 

 weekend day during the summer, people will commonly be 

 seen at sites on shore and on the river (if boatable). 



- Moderate or dispersed recreational use; on a typical 

 weekend day during the summer, people will sometimes 

 be seen on or along the river. 



- Limited or highly dispersed use; on a typical weekend 

 day during the summer, few or no people will likely be 

 seen on or along the river. 



5 . Access . 



This criterion was defined as ease of reaching the river from 

 adjacent land areas (that is, access to, not within, the river 

 corridor). Five classes of access were possible:
