boating route

Path through water

A boating route is a designated or established path for watercraft travel, whether for navigation, recreation, or commerce.

Such routes may follow rivers, coastlines, or marked channels through lakes and harbors: The boating route through the islands is well-marked with buoys.

Some routes are scenic passages for pleasure craft; others are shipping lanes for commercial vessels.
