Best Locations To Canoe
12th January 2012 by Boating Laws No CommentsCanoeing is a fun, rewarding, and health pastime outdoor experience for any person old or young. The question is where are some of the best places to Canoe?
When looking out for a location there are a few issues that must be addressed. The first of which would be to do an intensive self research of you own personal talent level. Are you someone that enjoys calm conditions without much challenge or effort, or are you someone that like the excitement of the rapids and danger of uncharted territory?
Many of us fall between so it is important to know you own preferences when looking to find a location. Another consideration you want to look at is the kind of vessel you prefer. You have conventional fiber glass Canoes and there are inflatable Kayaks. Both have their benefits and downsides, but I sometimes prefer inflatable on my relaxation trips and the conventional material for the more advance routes.
Ultimately are you going by yourself or with a friend? There are 2 paths to address this. You can take individual Kayaks, take turns Canoeing, or bring a tandem Kayak.
With that in mind if you are an experienced Kayaker and wish to have a beautiful environment and challenging waters even with falls consider trying the Westwater Ravine in Colorado near Grand Junction and not to some distance from Salt Lake City.
For moderate to advanced users head over to the east coast to Virginia where you will find Russell Fork Brook. This one is brim-full of twists and turns and even an occasional whirlpool. Still not counseled for the beginner but great for for those with some experience.
For some easier terrain go to Wisconsin’s Flambeau Stream in the higher areas of the river. This is also a wonderful place if you like both slow and fast. The upper region is slower where later on in the course it much more of a real challenge.
