Canoeing is one of the most accessible paddle sports. It is a great activity for people of all ages. Canoes are also great for cruising the lake, looking for the perfect fishing hole or taking extended day trips on larger lakes and rivers. It is also a very versatile activity-from canoe camping to whitewater canoeing. Canoes come in many different sizes and shapes to meet different needs. Regardless of the type of canoeing you plan to do, you will need more than just the boat. Outdoorplay can help you outfit your canoe for any activity you pursue. Recreational Canoes: These boats come in several different sizes depending on number of paddlers, room for gear and type of paddling. These are versatile boats, great for those who like to play on flat water while leaving the option open to get on whitewater. The open boat allows plenty of room for people, gear, dogs, whatever you want to carry! This type of boat would be a good choice for duck hunters, photographers, exploring, or even fly fishing on lakes and slow moving rivers. They are perfect for families. Most can be paddled as a single or tandem, some even have room for three. Whitewater Canoes: These boats are designed for whitewater and technical river running. The blunt ends, short length, and wide cross-section make these boats perfect for creeking. These boats can be paddled solo or tandem. The floatation in the front and back prevents the boat from filling with water. This is a great boat for any type of whitewater paddling, surfing, eddy hopping, and long multi-day trips.
