canoe route

River trail map

A canoe route is a mapped waterway or series of connected lakes and rivers suitable for canoe travel, typically through wilderness areas.

Routes may include portages—overland paths between bodies of water: We paddled the Boundary Waters canoe route last summer.

Parks and outfitters publish canoe routes with information about distance, difficulty, and camping spots.
