Navigation
The river is navigable over a length of 21.5 km (13.4 mi) from the village of Monnières to the confluence. It has a horseshoe weir (Chaussée Des Moines) and lock at Vertou, and a tidal sluice open to boats an hour before and after high tide at Pont-Rousseau, in the suburbs of Nantes. The river is an important resource for tourism in the region. Beyond the navigable section, the river is a popular destination for canoeists.
Its left-bank tributary the Petite Maine is also navigable over a length of 6 km (3.7 mi), up to the first disused lock and weir.
