In some cases, the navigation path may be different from the named
waterway, such as when locks and canals are used to bypass waterfalls or
rapids. In the case of reservoirs and lakes, some areas may be too shallow
for navigation, so the actual navigation route may not always be the
shortest path between the inlet and outlet points.

This is more about the water flow than about being navigable by a ship.
