Here's the tagging I used for the Unalakleet River in western Alaska. Only the upper reaches of this river are designated Wild and Scenic. The way for the protected portion is included in a large shapefile I downloaded some time ago that contains all the Wild &Scenic rivers in the U.S. I invented the protection_title because it seems so logical but I invite ideas about this tag and other tagging scenarios. I intend to use this as a model for the other W&S rivers in Alaska, of which there are probably 15 or 20
