US Waterway Data - US Army Corps of Engineers

The U.S. Waterway Data is a collection of data related to the navigable waters in the United States, including inland waterways, off-shore waters, the Great Lakes, and the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Data on commerce, facilities, locks, dredging, imports and exports, and accidents are included along with the geographic waterway network. The data were compiled from several agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Navigation Data Center, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the U.S. Coast Guard, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Vanderbilt University. One of the objectives of this coordinated effort is to make waterway data more widely available and easily accessible. The data included here are in standard file formats that can be easily imported into other software tools such as spreadsheets, databases, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
