Here's an article from the Denver Post about kayak parks [October 11, 2005, "Recreational use becomes water fight of New West"]. From the article, "Kayak play-parks - stretches of foaming whitewater that enthrall both boaters and spectators - have become the cherished attractions in more than a dozen Colorado towns. Two professional paddlers in Buena Vista are building an entire community around a planned play-park. But the jumbles of boulders in rural waterways are now more than the proverbial golden egg for communities fighting for a sliver of Colorado's $8.5 billion tourism economy. They embody a New West vs. Old West fight over water and how evolving economies and communities grow."
