I use it all the time when looking for things that people might have 
mapped using tags that I wasn't aware of.  In your case I'd definitely 
try searching values for words like "canoe" or others that you think 
people might have used (see e.g. 
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=canoe#values ).  If 
nothing else that'll identify areas to look where people have added 
other things.

Using that method you can find e.g. 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1739117028 (which is tagged as a 
tourism=theme_park?) and if you query the map or turn the data layer on 
you'll also see https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6764328677 .
