In addition to the two obvious routes (Hudson and St. Lawrence) you
can also go inland through th Great Lakes, down the Mississippi River
and Tenn-Tom Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico. Although this is
clearly the long way around, it has become a popular cruising route
known as the Great Circle.

I believe the route is called the Great Loop.

You'll find references under both names, but "great circle" is the one
I hear the most:

And yes, I appreciate that there is another meaning to "great circle."
