In my region, The River Stort navigation, from Roydon up to the limit of
navigation to Bishops Stortford, is mostly tagged waterway=river.
But this is frequently navigated, has locks, a towpath, and is wide
enough for vessels wider than the traditional narrowboats.
I'm not a waterway specialist compared to some contributors here -
would this be the most complete set of tags? What else would you add ?
waterway=canal
name=River Stort Navigation
boat=yes
cheers, Martyn
If it is a river (as in your example), then waterway=river. Some
waterways with "xxx Navigation" names are often mixtures of original
rivers and cuts (canals) to circumvent unnavigable sections (weirs,
rapids, etc). Use the waterway=canal on those sections.
