How do I map a canal used as a canoe course?

Hello, there.

The subject tells your everything: I know such a place, which is a canal along a river, but I don't know how to tag it.

Awaiting your answers,

Regards.

I would go with:

waterway=canal as it is a canal, and if it is used often for canoeing then add sport=canoeing.

If the water body is wide enough you can map additionally the area using tags: natural=water and water=canal
