I bet some of this increase is due to the clean water laws. Growing up in Nashua during the 60's and 70's, no one boated in the Merrimack or Nashua Rivers. We even nicknamed one the Nausea river. Now, I canoe and fish these rivers all the time and I'm not alone. On weekends there are dozens of bass boats, canoes and kayaks. I'm sure that there are plenty of other examples.
