canoe routes
Waterway travel itineraries
Canoe routes are established water trails for paddling, typically marked on maps and guides with information about portages, campsites, and hazards.
The term is especially associated with wilderness areas in Canada and the northern United States: We spent a week paddling canoe routes in the Boundary Waters.
Routes range from easy day trips to multi-week expeditions through remote backcountry.
