I stumbled across this event coming up soon. http://www.quietwatersymposium.org/ It looks like a low-key fun day with conservation and paddle minded folks. Anyone ever gone? I'm planning to go and check it out! Scott

Anyone build or use a skin on frame canoe? I'm looking at Monfort's Snowflake 14 and Gentry's PH13. I'm between canoes right now...sold off the fleet except for "the barge", 100 pound aluminum beast(which we did once portage 700m in Killarney PP) Planning to build 2 cedar solos someday, but $...

The KK looks awesome on videos...I'm looking at the small one in stainless with the accessories. Any first hand experience? I know Stripperguy is already a fan. We mostly heat water, so it looks like a good opton. Scott

What do you wear on your feet? I hate cold wet feet when I step out to enter/exit the canoe.

Canoe is in unusually excellent condition...spent most of its life as a canoe shop demo boat in their pond. '96, Ash and cane seats, aluminum gunnels, medium green Royalex. Only 56 pounds. Fast, smooth, and handles well. Versatile canoe...ponds, rivers, tandem, or solo. The Royalex in this...

I just got a new map in the mail! The Adirondack Council published and is distributing for free (for now) a beautiful waterproof map of the "Bob Marshall Adirondack Wildlands Complex" This map gives a great, big picture view of some of the prime paddling destinations. This region is bounded by...

It seems every winter, something happens that gets me thinking about paddling. This time, it was a new book. Phil Brown, editor of Adirondack Explorer, wrote this concise volume of 60 great day trips in the ADK's.(although many could be extended and combined for multi-day trips) The book...

I like this forum, with it's members from many different places...places I've never been, never paddled. I would love to see a few photos from a favorite canoe destination....kind of like a travel brochure...make me want to go there some day! Here's what I mean... Place: Killarney Provincial...

I know we have posters from all climates on this board, but it has been crazy warm this winter in WNY. I think that's why I have been thinking about canoeing so much...I even had the maps out yesterday looking at the ADK's, PA, Ontario, Michigan...even Wyoming. The creeks here are full, even the...

Well I see no one has posted in the "Tandem" section yet, so here goes. I can see a solo canoe in my future, but I sure have had fun with our old aluminum tandem. There is something special about moving across the water as half of a 2 person "engine". We live in such an independent, solitary...

Hello all I'm wondering what everyone paddles---canoe, kayak---brands and models... Any favorites, least favorites from personal experience?? I'm paddling a 17 foot aluminum tandem...shopping for a lighter tandem for the spring....dreaming of a cedar strip build someday. (I'd attach a picture...

Hi I'm Scott Live on the Erie Canal, near Lake Ontario, Oak Orchard Creek, 20 minutes from Niagara Falls (don't paddle there though) I love flat water paddling, Canadice/Hemlock/Fingerlakes, Adirondacks, just discovering Canadian destinations like Killarney and Muskoka area. I love reading...

Well, Willis asked what I got for Christmas...I got a dilemma! Here's the story. My step mother heard of our adventures this summer...my 17 year old son and I dragging an 80 pound aluminum canoe through Killarney Provincial Park, Ontario...(a great trip that deserves a report sometime.) Our...
