I don't think it's that simple: http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Police-Waterski-school-owner-harassed-canoeist-3813574.php

If I remember correctly, the "school" owner referenced above has had run-ins on the river before, and has made a habit out of causing problems. He also sued the town a month or so beforehand, something about access rights on a park road.

I've got a feeling local politics came into play in both cases. Folks can talk about modern day society all they want, but I have a feeling Upstate New York still runs on small town politics. Get along with your neighbors, and they'll wash your back for you in return.

I do want to see if the NY laws have been changed, though, in respect to the exact category of vessel NY wants to deem kayaks fall in.
