Before doing the actual routing, the polygon for the "whole lake" must be preprocessed in various ways: eliminate areas which are too shallow, prohibited, one-way/wrong-way, subject to traffic controls etc. Then the routing algorithm can avoid all these no-go areas, just as if they were physical obstacles. There is probably an equivalent of "access=private", "access=permissive" and "access=destination" as well.

Although a height difference between in and out might indicate a weir or other obstruction may well indicate that a route is non-navigable? The outflow from a dam may have the same name, but have no use as a through route? This is more about the water flow than about being navigable by a ship.
