Thanks for bringing this up. Canoe routes and their connectors is a
topic that needs work.
In the present case and to answer your question, I would prefer portage=*
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, IMO.
Yep, the broader the key the better .. you never know what things will
crop up in the future.
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.
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..
There should be an OSM wiki page on it.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi, I'd like to add some tags for canoe portages
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portage) in wilderness areas. These
would be trails tagged highway=path plus some tag to designate
that they're used for portaging between lakes. I have found three
different tags that are currently used to tag portages (there may
be others?), and am wondering if anyone has recommendations about
what would be best.
1) portage=* (223 objects)
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/portage
2) whitewater=portage_way (227 objects)
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/whitewater=portage_way
3) canoe=portage (67 object)
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/canoe=portage
Cheers,
Brad
