    Solo Advice - Bell Rockstar

    TL;DR - I'm trying to decide if I should keep my Rockstar or attempt to trade it out for something smaller. As I'm starting to gear up for the season, I'm having a hard time deciding what to do about my solo canoe. I picked up a Bell Rockstar in kevlight a few years ago knowing that it's a...

    Sylvania Wilderness - Eagle 2 & Loon on Loon - August 2018

    This was our first family trip with a little portaging. Sylvania is beautiful and the campsites were the cleanest I've ever encountered. The water in most of the lakes we paddled was exceptionally clear and we were able to do quite a bit of fish watching. We were out for 6 days, staying at...

    Anyone ever paddle Birch Creek in Alaska? + recommended day paddles?

    We're taking a big trip to Alaska next summer and looking at a 6 day trip on Birch Creek. Anyone here ever paddled it? This will be our first time in Alaska and first time using an outfitter, so any sage advice is welcomed. I'm a little nervous about trusting someone else with choosing and...

    Dagger Interlude

    Anyone ever paddle an Interlude? I stumbled upon this one while looking for a solo. They had it listed for $300 with only a few images and it ended up being about 15 minutes from my house. It was in pretty nice shape and the couple gave me three paddles along with it, including a really pretty...

    Well Loved Mad River Lamoille - Repair & Setup Questions

    Hello y'all, I picked up this boat in the fall of 2016 and didn't end up doing anything with it last year. I'm ready to get it on the water and get the family out for at least a short trip this summer. I'll probably have a lot more questions as I get going but I'll start here. This Lamoille took...

    Used MNII from a BWCA outfitter.

    I'm considering making a long drive up to MN to buy a boat. I was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion on the apparent condition and if there is anything I should look out for. This particular boat is 6 years old and does not have any repairs, but it does have significant wear...

    Urban Boat Builders skin on frame canoes

    I'm looking at a used one later today, does anyone know anything about them, or SOF canoes in general? I'm looking for something light enough to port, as our current boats are of the 80lbs poly variety and I'd like to open up my options for trips in the coming years. I'm on a budget, but I...

    Turtle Flambeau Flowage first canoe trip.

    Went up to the TFF this Monday to Wednesday with my 7 year old daughter, first canoe trip for both of us. The wind was crazy for the first two days and we only went a couple miles in, Wednesday was beautiful so we had a bit more of a paddle before heading out. We camped at R38 the first night...

    Turtle Flambeau Flowage

    Hello, I'm considering a trip to the Turtle Flambeau this year and wondering if anyone has any experience to share. Best launch, campsites, time of year, etc. Thinking of launching at Murray's Landing and sticking to the quiet zone if possible. The biggest thing that worries me is going at a...

    Hello from Central WIsconsin

    Hello everyone! I've done a bit of canoeing over the years starting with summer camp at about 8 years old. We got our first canoe this year and have taken several river trips. My kids are 4 and 6 years old, so we have been trying to stick to slow and easy rivers. I'm really interested in...
