Working on walking/cycling routes in Halton Ontario, and canoe routes in Algonquin Provincial Park.
Algonquin
Algonquin Provincial Park does not have discrete “canoe routes”. Instead, there is one giant network consisting of over 2000km of inter-connected lakes, portages, streams, and rivers. “Algonquin Paddle Routes” is one giant Relation of type=route. It’s related to Ways of portage/paddle segments. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/15741183
type=route

network=Algonquin Park Canoe Routes Network
network:type=rpn
route=canoe

Portages are a Way. These are largely-complete footpaths. Eg https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/74719541

lit=no ?
Paths across lakes are a Way (or several), connecting portages together on each end. Eg https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1163707417

Portages and Canoe Paths meet at a Put-in node. Eg https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1912217342
