I'm looking for tagging that will indicate that a particular river in the United States is a "Wild and Scenic River" as defined by the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act. I have searched with Overpass for waterway=* that also has a scenic=yes tag but it turned up no results. Can anyone provide some guidance and/or examples? Thanks |

The correct tag would be boundary=protected_area, protect_class=5. On the wiki, see the table for nature-protected areas, and scroll down to the US section. I'm not sure where exactly the tag should go though--on the river way? riverbank? does the Wild & Scenic protection include area outside the riverbank? I hadn't thought about the land adjacent to the rivers but I would be willing to bet there is some sort of corridor along all Wild & Scenic Rivers. However, at the moment I'm looking for a simple, first cut method that will tag the ways comprising a river in such a way that they can be found in a search for a Wild Scenic River and will be recognizable as such by data consumers who may choose to render them in a special way. I don't have the amount of time it would take to find such boundary information on U.S. Government websites and then get approval to add them to OSM. Thanks for your answer.
