I don't think this route qualifies as a "nautical channel" but insights and new ideas are always welcome. I don't want to use any whitewater tags here because I don't think they're appropriate. Someone mentioned not creating a new type of route but route=canoe was in use before I came along and it perfectly describes this water and land route.
By the way, for your information bicycles are strictly forbidden to use any part of this trails system even in winter when the lakes are frozen. Yes, we have bicyclists who equip their bikes with studded tires and ride the wilderness trails when they can. I obtained GPS traces from a fellow that rode a fat-tire bike on the Iditarod Trail, a 1,000 mile trip through the wilds from Anchorage to Nome, in mid-winter. I added a bicycle=no tag to the route relation. For now, I'm going to tag those untagged ways with route=canoe and then if some new development or an alternate tagging scenario presents itself later, I'll come back and change it.
