Water trails are designated routes on rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water that are designed for recreational activities like kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. These trails often include access points, signage, and amenities to enhance the experience for users. They promote outdoor recreation and provide opportunities for people to connect with nature. Many water trails are part of larger conservation efforts, aiming to protect natural habitats and improve water quality. Organizations often collaborate with local communities to maintain these trails, ensuring they are safe and accessible. Popular examples of water trails include the Missouri River Water Trail and the Chesapeake Bay Water Trail.
