Kayak Canoe SUP: PaddlePilot

Know how long your paddle really takes, when you must launch to be back before dark, and let your shore crew know. No account, no tracking.

PaddlePilot helps you plan kayak, canoe and SUP trips on rivers and lakes across the United States and Canada, with the safety tools you need on every trip.

RIVER TIME

• Float time as an honest range, from live USGS and Environment Canada river flow, wind, stops and portages
• In the U.S., routes follow the real river line (USGS NHDPlus) and know when you're paddling upstream
• Pro: see what each stretch adds, and River Time calibrated to your own pace

RETURN BY DARK

• The latest time you can launch, a turn-back time and a live daylight margin on the water
• Gentle daylight notices while you paddle

SHORE CREW, NO ACCOUNT

• Share your float plan privately through iCloud. Crew members with PaddlePilot get your plan and an overdue alert on their own device, even when you have no signal
• Anyone else gets your plan by text or e-mail
• "I'm off the water" with one press-and-hold, from the app, Siri, Control Center or Apple Watch

ON YOUR WRIST (for Apple Watch)

• Phone-free trips with distance, ETA, daylight margin and wet-hand controls (hold to end)
• Complications and Smart Stack for flow, daylight and your next trip
• Pro: Course View

FIND WATER

• Launches, take-outs, portages, dams and weirs across the US and Canada (low-head dams highlighted where mapped), built in and available offline
• Live gauges with flow bands that make sense, every number with its source and age
• Offline topo maps for your trip

ON THE WATER

• Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Marks for hazards, campsites, wildlife and photos; voice notes turned into text on your iPhone
• Off-route alerts and a safety screen with your location to share

LOGBOOK

• Every trip with splits, map, journal and gear
• GPX export for free; Pro: FIT, CSV, PDF Trip Reports and your Annual Report
• Gear maintenance reminders (Pro)

ON-DEVICE BRIEFINGS (PRO)

• Trip briefings and journals written on your device; numbers always come from the trip itself
• Uses Apple Intelligence on supported devices and languages; a built-in summary is used otherwise

SOURCES YOU CAN CHECK

• Every safety tip links to its source (U.S. Coast Guard, National Weather Service, Transport Canada, USGS and more) in You › Sources & Methods
