Choosing the Right Canoe
To choose the right canoe for you, first make an honest evaluation of your intended needs and uses. What types of canoeing activities will you participate in most of the time? Will you paddle mostly on calm lakes and ponds, in waves and whitewater? Will you seek lazy days fishing and exploring wilderness rivers, or the thrill of competition? Will you paddle alone or with family and friends? Once you’ve determined these parameters, you can choose the canoe design that will fit your needs most of the time.
Old Town offers a wide variety of canoe models and designs, each with features and design elements to meet specific paddling needs. In choosing your Old Town canoe, keep in mind that no single boat can do everything well.
