Did you know you can paddle from New York to Maine entirely on inland waterways? There are thousands of miles of canoeable waters in the United States, but they can be difficult to find and navigate. In this talk I'll share my journey of mapping paddle trails in the Northeast US, and show you how to get started mapping canoe routes in your region. Together we can make OpenStreetMap the world's first comprehensive map of water trails.
