What are the top 10-15 outdoor recreation activites in order of
frequent activity (measured by number of visits, or visitors, etc.). 
I am defining outdoor recreation as having an experience of nature,
such as hiking, paddling, biking, fishing, birding, fishing, skiing. 

Thank you.

hey this might help!!

Broad increase in outdoor recreation participation, with 20 of 37
tracked activities registering an increase in the percentage of
Americans participating over the past twelve months
§The sharpest climbs in reported participation were in wildlife
viewing (up 4 points), hiking, running/jogging and motor boating (each
up 3 points)
2000 survey showed that 78% of all American adults took part in an
outdoor recreation activity at least monthly, and 34% did so several
times each week; new 2001 survey shows a drop to 70% taking part at
least monthly and only 26% several times weekly.
