The intent is to convey what mode of travel is appropriate or "authorized" for each of 100+ campsites. Many are hiker-only, easily solved by "horse=no", some are horse and hiker, a very few are hiker, horse, and boat-accessible, and a very very few are only reachable by boat: There are no trails, official or otherwise, leading to the boat-only sites (one being on an island). Given the steepness of the terrain and density of understory, attempting to reach one of these sites generally results in a bad ending (tag..helicopter_rescue=yes). However, NONE of the sites are banned from hiker-access. Just that we want to clearly identify and label the "only way you can get here is a boat". So far I'm using "boat=yes", to keep it simple. As someone else posted, lack of a way/route leading to the site would suggest a boat as a means of getting there. In practice, there is mapped a short trail from the lake shore to the actual site.
The color-coding on the official park map perhaps conveys this better http://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/upload/GSMNP-Map_OCT2012.pdf We have not considered a tagging scenario that suggests people can put their horse in a boat...

Suitable keys might be "natural" (for geographic features), landcover, landuse and maybe more. First of all you should tell us what it is that makes the area difficult for foot travel. ;-) That might work. Thomas, can you provide us details as to what makes it difficult or dangerous to travel by foot to the camp in question? Mike
