#2The "Navigable by canoe" filter seems to filter out everything, which is a bummer, because I've always wondered how far up into the Sierras I could drop a canoe and still be able to paddle back to the bay area.

It showed one path in my area which is a portage trail for canoes connecting two waterways

#5When I was young, my grandfather talked about the possibility of taking his boat from his home in central Florida all the way to the coast.
40+ years later, this fills me with delight. He could have done it.

#6Kinda neat to turn on the Navigable By Boat filter and zoom in on England to find where I live, and all the 2500 miles of actually connected and navigable English (and Welsh) canals and rivers I’ve been on over the last seven years.
Or course there’s also a whole lot of “waterways” that sure as hell aren’t navigable by any boat that can support a human, but might have been at some point.

Selecting "Rivers" shows an awful lot of dry gulches and alluvial fans that haven't had water in them in half a century or more.

You have both hills and urban areas blocking about the whole east side of San Francisco Bay. Hard for me to imagine being able to get through that. And further north you've got the Central Valley.

Yep. The first one I went looking for was the Fleet, which is something of a ghost river at the end of its journey.

I'm not sure how hills or urban areas block the ability to canoe... Waterways always are locally low and canoe trips on rivers will typically have hills on either side of you. And I've been on plenty of canoe trips that went through the downtown of a city. Most older cities are built in some place navigable by boat.
