I vote for the latter.
A navigable waterway for leisure use is an excellent benefit for any urban or rural area, in addition to being one of the few things I miss out here. I'm formerly from HI, so water sports were a part of my life, albeit somewhat minor compared to most residents. To the north of me, some Denver residents obtain their fishing licenses and you can see the occasional urbanite flycasting the Platte River near the downtown area.
I just checked that on the global maps: that does look lovely and I wish you and the society all the best in getting it done. Can they take or use donations? I can't really physically help from Colorado and would enjoy giving what little I can towards that effort.
