Paddle Routes: Kayak & Canoe

Canoe maps, wind, tide, rivers

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.

Wind, tides, river levels and water quality for the route you're actually paddling. Know a stretch of water well? Add it — three approved routes earn a month of Pro. Find it. Plan it. Paddle it. Built for kayak, canoe, SUP, sea kayak and packraft - not a hiking app with a water icon. Find somewhere to paddle, see what the water is doing, tell someone your plan, and record every session from iPhone or Apple Watch. ROUTES MADE FOR PADDLERS Explore routes on rivers, canals, lakes, estuaries and the sea. Every route brings together: Put-in and take-out points, with launch and get-out notes Parking, access and licence information where recorded Hazards, rapids and portages Difficulty, distance, duration and craft suitability Reviews, ratings and recent reports from other paddlers Shuttle planning for point-to-point routes CONDITIONS FOR THIS ROUTE — NOT THE NEAREST TOWN Wind read against the route's own direction: headwind, tailwind, crosswind, section by section Suggested departure windows scored on wind, waves, visibility and daylight Environment Agency river gauges in supported UK areas, with level, trend and recent rainfall Tide predictions, height and trend, plus wave and sea state where available Bathing-water classification and pollution risk where a monitored site exists Storm-overflow monitoring in covered English areas Live and forecast information always clearly labelled Coverage depends on the data providers. Where a source isn't available, Paddle Routes says so rather than showing an all-clear. TELL SOMEONE YOUR PLAN Arm a float plan before you launch, choose your safety contacts and set an expected finish time. If you miss it, they can be notified once the grace period passes. Or share a private Beacon link so someone ashore can see your latest reported position and how recently it updated. Paddle Routes supports preparation and communication. It is not a monitored emergency service, and it cannot tell you whether the water is safe to paddle. RECORD FROM IPHONE OR APPLE WATCH Live distance, time, pace and progress along the route Hold-to-finish and large controls built for cold, wet hands Background and screen-locked recording Off-route warnings and distance to the next get-out where available Recovery if the app is interrupted, so a paddle isn't lost Standalone Apple Watch recording — finished paddles stay in Pending Sync until your iPhone confirms receipt PREPARE BEFORE SIGNAL DISAPPEARS Download route detail and offline map tiles before you go. Recording keeps running locally in poor signal, and uploads retry until they land. BUILD YOUR PADDLING STORY Activity history, splits, personal records, monthly trends, goals and skills progression. Export routes and paddles as GPX, send workouts to Apple Health, or import from Strava. PLAN ON THE WEB, PADDLE WITH THE APP Explore on a bigger map at paddleroutes.io, save routes to the same account, then paddle them. ADD THE WATER YOU KNOW Submit routes you paddle regularly. Every route goes through staff review before it publishes, and every three approved routes earns you a free month of Pro. PADDLE ROUTES PRO Free covers the essentials: browse and search routes, record from iPhone or Apple Watch, save up to 10 routes, arm float plans, share a Live Beacon, export GPX, and contribute routes, reviews and hazard reports. Pro adds: Conditions for every route — wind, tides, river levels, water quality, flood warnings and storm overflows Offline map and route downloads Unlimited saved routes Multi-day expedition planning Advanced analytics and personal records Apple Health export and Strava import Optional AI tools — route summaries, packing checklists, suggestions and comparisons Conditions digest on Apple Watch AI tools are optional. They assist interpretation, can be wrong, and never decide whether a paddle is safe. Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms of use : https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy : https://www.paddleroutes.io/privacy
