After visiting it myself, I am sticking with my decision. Though, it is very close to a British pub, intended for talking and serves alcohol.

In OpenStreetMap parlance, a bar is a noisy (audio/visual) place. For Homebrew, I am going to try leisure=amusement_arcade instead of bar. Needs a tag stating the games are analog.

My wife knows the owner and says you would you would likly enjoy this place.

I changed my mind. I started into moving the ways from the bicycling route to the hiking route. Following the route, I have too many questions and not enough time. For the moment, I will leave it to someone else.

Found that these sections of path added were to the bicycling half of the Iron Belle Trail and am moving them to the hiking section now.

Also, iD suggests "cycleway" where a paved "path" would be more accurate (and more discoverable and routable by people on foot and in wheelchairs).

Also, as an old-skool OpenStreetMapper I am a bit of a purist. OpenStreetMap data is supposed to represent current on-the-ground realities. Having not seen the area, I am not sure if you have done this, but I would not add things which have only been planned for construction. For things that are under construction, have a look at the newer and more flexible tagging method.

The current standard for mapping a canoe/kayak/paddlecraft launch is a single point at the water's edge, preferably at the end of a trail leading to it, tagged with:
canoe=put_in;egress
Add any further descriptive tags.

For more information see:

At least now, they will not get sucked into a dam driving back there.

The highway segment is now concrete with a ford point at the creek. I figured that mapped the hazard and would render nicely. Someone with access to the site can improve it further.

waterway=weir

Is this really a dam?

If the water goes over. it is most likely a weir. But then, there is also a ford mapped there.
I drove over to see it for myself and found that I could not get very close.

This is tagged like a water lock, used to lift and lower boats in a waterway. I suspect you meant barrier=gate.
barrier=*

It would seem. Thanks.

Looking at the arial imagery, I would way highway=unclassified was the correct classification. Definitely not "residential". Have a look at the Michigan Wiki page and other pages on the topic. osm.wiki/Michigan

Just a note to say GPS coordinates are the source of truth, when it comes to positioning.
Arial imagery can be offset or skewed and in need of repositioning before using them.
osm.wiki/Imagery_Offset_Database
The web editor iD has a method for offsetting the imagery under "Background settings".

Thank you. Fixed.

We should probably switch to using the newer and more flexible lifecycle prefixes for things like "under construction".
The older method was used for freeway construction and renders like it.
osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

139345117

According to the wiki, this would be tagged as:
construction:leisure=pitch
sport=pickleball

leisure=pitch

Only things with a signed / official name should be named in OpenStreetMap.

By the way, Michigan mappers meet each month. In October we are journeying to the centers of Michigan. Details can be seen on the Michigan wiki page.

I've created a project page for both sides of the Iron Belle Trail.

I started a project page for The Iron Belle. And made your bicycle route thee route.

If the path is still under construction or going forward, I'm wondering if it would be better to use the newer Lifecycle Prefixes. I've seen some rendering of "proposed" paths and those under construction looking like a freeway under construction.
