PaddleWays serves as a digital guidebook and GPS navigation tool to help you make informed decisions when rafting, kayaking, canoeing, and stand up paddling or however you get on water. In cooperation with American White Water, this app aims to bring as much information to all paddlers to make safe and informed decisions before heading on the water.

Whether discovering new places to paddle, planning your bucket-list trip, or navigating on your next adventure, PaddleWays is your all-in-one tool for knowing where, when and how to go. Browse maps nearby to find great places to paddle near you. Locations include comments from other paddlers plus trip reports from fellow paddlers. Launch with confidence by uniting state-of-the art map technology with curated river descriptions, points-of-interest, and real-time conditions including USGS flow station data. PaddleWays lets you view your location, see what’s coming, measure distances, and set alerts for approaching features.
