The canoe has a tradition in North America that goes back several hundred years. It was an invention of Native Americans and served them unbelievably well.
As kayaking has grown, canoeing has declined in popularity. However, if you’re still as fascinated by the idea of a canoe, you’ll find that canoeing offers HUGE REWARDS. It’s peaceful and calm but can also be exhilarating and challenging if you choose to make it so. Canoes can carry a month’s supply of camping gear, and North America has the greatest access to long canoeing adventures anywhere in the world.
Even a weekend or a week-long camping adventure in a canoe can be an amazing adventure. You quickly leave the hurried world behind as you gracefully chew up the miles and visit new terrain.
Canoes offer a great way to introduce a friend to water-based travel because in a canoe, it’s a fully shared experience in the same craft.
