An opportunity to purchase a Kevlar Old Town Columbia has fallen into my lap. I’m going to take a look at it tomorrow morning. Does anyone have any experience with and/or recall the specs for this boat? I know it’s over 18’ long and primarily a lake boat. I’m considering it for lake camping...

If you could choose one place to live in the US that has the best canoeing opportunities, where would it be? I thought this would be a fun thread, and it is applicable to me and my family as I just started a fully remote job, and I now have the freedom to live wherever I choose as long as I...

My wife and I went to Noel Canoe’s demo night tonight on Lake Wilhelm, PA to support @NoelCanoeDad and try out some of the red feather and slipstream boats he has for sale. He has quite the spread right now including a red feather Rockstar, Merlin III, (2) Yellowstone solos, and a bucktail. He...

I have been presented the opportunity to acquire a royalex Bell Prodigy. Does anyone have experience paddling this canoe? Could you share your thoughts on how it paddles and the conditions you paddled it in? Would this be a good beater whitewater boat for me to “test the waters” in solo...

I’m visiting my dad in St. Mary’s County Maryland this weekend, and we took the kids over to the Calvert Marine Museum on the Patuxent River for a rainy day activity. I happened upon a few nice gentlemen (Rich and Larry I believe) who are a part of the Patuxent River Small Craft Guild. They...

Does anyone have experience paddling the 23 miles of the Shenango River between Pymatuning Reservoir and Shenango River Lake? There is a published water trail here, but not much info. Best I could find is that it’s a class I float...

Hello everyone! My wife and I have been on the hunt for a used general purpose/tripping boat that we can abuse while we learn to run whitewater, and also use on small bony creeks. I came across this royalex Mad River Explorer and plan to take a look at it this weekend...

All, My wife and I are looking for a good river touring canoe course to introduce us to whitewater skills and prepare us for a river trip in the future. We are comfortable paddling flatwater, but my wife isn't as adventurous as I am when it comes to trying new, potentially dangerous, things...

See below for a trip I went on last month from the Lower French River down to the Georgian Bay. It's a hybrid canoe camping/outpost fishing trip, though I only filmed the time spent with the canoe. I reviewed campsites along the way and tried to capture the essence of the area. It is a bit heavy...

All, New to the forum, and fairly new to paddling. I've spent some time in fishing kayaks and cheap canoes. I've been whitewater rafting several times, but have never seriously paddled a canoe. I'm in the deep research phase trying to figure out what type of paddling I want to do. This is...
