Nonnavigable is an adjective used to describe a watercourse that cannot be navigated by vessels of practical size.

The status is often context-dependent, varying with vessel type and seasonal conditions.
Factors that contribute to nonnavigability include insufficient depth, narrow or constricted channels, strong or variable currents,
Legal and land-use implications accompany the term in some jurisdictions. Navigability can determine public access rights
In ecological and geomorphological contexts, nonnavigable waterways are often studied for hydrological behavior, sediment transport, and
