The Havel is navigable to [[canoe]]s and similar small craft from close to its source. Motor craft are prohibited above the first [[lock (water transport)|lock]] at {{ill|Zwenzow|de}}, which links the [[Useriner See]] to the [[Großer Labussee]]. The stretch of the river between this lock and the junction with the [[Oder–Havel Canal]] is administered as part of the [[Obere–Havel–Wasserstraße]], along with various connecting canals and waterways.<ref name=bsiwg106>{{cite book | first = Barry | last = Sheffield | publisher = Imray Laurie Norie & Wilson | location = [[St Ives, Cambridgeshire|St Ives]] | title = Inland Waterways of Germany | year = 1995 | pages = 106–108 | isbn = 0-85288-283-1 }}</ref><ref name=bws>{{cite web | publisher = Wasser- und Schifffahrtsverwaltung des Bundes | url = http://www.wsv.de/wasserstrassen/gliederung_bundeswasserstrassen/haupstrecken_abkuerzungen/index.html | title = Hauptstrecken Abkürzungen | language = de |trans-title=Main route abbreviations | access-date = 6 February 2011 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110719114520/http://www.wsv.de/wasserstrassen/gliederung_bundeswasserstrassen/haupstrecken_abkuerzungen/index.html | archive-date = 19 July 2011 }}</ref>

From Zwenzow downstream to Liebenwalde is a distance of {{convert|92|km}}. In this distance the navigation passes through the lakes of Großer Labussee, [[Woblitzsee]], [[Wangnitzsee]], [[Großer Priepertsee]], [[Ellbogensee]], [[Ziernsee]], [[Röblinsee]], [[Baalensee]], [[Schwedtsee]] and [[Stolpsee]]. It also descends through the locks at [[Wesenberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern|Wesenberg]], [[Steinhavelmühle]], Fürstenberg, [[Bredereiche]], [[Regow, Brandenburg|Regow]], [[Zaaren]], [[Schorfheide]], [[Zehdenick]], [[Bischofswerder]] and [[Liebenwalde]].<ref name=bsiwg106/><ref name=bws/>

The Woblitzsee also gives access to the [[Kammer Canal]], which allows vessels to reach [[Neustrelitz]]. The Ellbogensee links to the [[Müritz–Havel–Wasserstraße]], which proceeds deeper into the Mecklenburg Lake District, eventually connecting with the [[Müritz–Elde–Wasserstraße]]. Other connected waterways are the {{ill|Lychener Gewässer|de}}, the {{ill|Templiner Gewässer|de}} and the [[Wentow Gewässer]].<ref name=bsiwg106/>
