The Saône is navigable from its [[confluence]] with the Coney at [[Corre]] in the north of the ''département'' [[Haute-Saône]] all the way to its confluence with the [[Rhône]] (itself a navigable river) at [[La Mulatière]], in Lyon. The navigable stretch is {{convert|367|km|mi}} long, of which {{convert|206|km|mi}} has been redeveloped to European high-capacity dimensions from [[Saint-Symphorien-sur-Saône]] to Lyon. It has 5 locks.<ref>[http://www.fluviacarte.com/fr/voies-navigables/region-r-8/voie--115 Fluviacarte], Saône</ref> The 161&nbsp;km long part upstream from Saint-Symphorien-sur-Saône to Corre, also named ''Petite Saône'', is navigable for [[Freycinet gauge]] ships and has 19 locks.<ref>[http://www.fluviacarte.com/fr/voies-navigables/region-r-6/voie--102 Fluviacarte], Petite Saône</ref>

The Saône is linked with the [[Loire (river)|Loire]] by the [[Canal du Centre (France)|Canal du Centre]], with the [[Yonne (river)|Yonne]] by the [[Canal de Bourgogne]], with the [[Marne (river)|Marne]] by the [[Canal entre Champagne et Bourgogne]] (previously the Canal de la Marne à la Saône), with the [[Meuse (river)|Meuse]] by the [[Canal de l'Est]], whose southern branch has been renamed the [[Canal des Vosges]], and with the [[Rhine]] by the [[Canal du Rhône au Rhin]]. All the canals are [[Freycinet gauge]].

Also navigable are the small [[Canal de Pont-de-Vaux]] (3&nbsp;km), the Seille, navigable in a {{convert|40|km|mi|adj=on}} stretch up to [[Louhans]], as well as the lower part of the Doubs. None of these three connect the Saône to any other waterway.
