the problem with it including waterways is that words have meaning, and "trail" and "waterway" are words that mean different things. it's cool that they include waterways in their map. my problem is that they don't call it the "canada-wide recreation areas network", they call it a trail. and it isn't.

Better tell the Northern Forest Canoe Trail https://www.northernforestcanoetrail.org/ https://www.northernforestcanoetrail.org/ "Trail" tends to imply hiking trail but there's no reason it needs to.

  Especially if it is called a "Canoe Trail" one would assume there is not a lot of hiking.

    Try portaging your canoe for 20km through the wilderness and say that again :)

Well it's not a network, it's a route across the country.... AKA a trail. Plenty of trails are or include waterways, "trail" != "hiking trail". Canada is especially rugged, rivers are the best way through large parts of it.

Hmm... I checked the dictionary. I think this qualifies? I checked because I agreed with you, though I wasn't sure of the actual definition. A waterway could also be called a trail.

One of New Zealand's "Great Walks" is the Whanganui Journey, which is a kayak or canoe journey down the Whanganui River. http://media.newzealand.com/en/story-ideas/new-zealands-nine-great-walks/ http://media.newzealand.com/en/story-ideas/new-zealands-nine...
