        <div>In the present case and to answer your question, I would

          <div>This would leave open multiple possibilities for values,
            yes/no, canoe. kayak, etc., that might more fully describe
            the portage.The other two are too limited or specialized,

    Yep, the broader the key the better .. you never know what things
    will crop up in the future. <br>

          <div>Another issue regarding canoe routes which needs to be
            addressed at some point in the future is that there is, to
            my knowledge, no way to tag the waterway portions of a canoe
            trail or route. <br>

    I'd think that canoe routes should be done similar to bicycle
    routes... maybe mountain bike as they have some system for the
    difficulty of the route.. <br>
    <br>
    There should be an OSM wiki page on it. <br>
