There are some other things to consider. Locks and dams being just 2 of them. You might have to portage your boat around a few obstacles like those.
Why you have to evacuate is another one.
For example if it is because of floods you might not want to be on the water at all.
But going by water if ready to do it and with a decent plan is a good way.
