First family trip new canoe

[RTowner]

Meant to post this a few weeks ago…

After considering fishing boats for a long time, I experienced a moment of great clarity - the fact I could buy a canoe. It would cost less, give easier access to that boat launches and trailering, be healthier, and pair with our camping lifestyle. In other words, we could be on the water now and having fun.

So we bought an end of season deal on an Old Town Discovery and hit the lake for our maiden voyage (Juno Lake, Southwest MI).

This site has been an appreciated resource.

I love to see children out on the water. What a good idea to get a canoe!

Thanks for sharing your first paddling adventure with us. Those smiles say all you need to know!

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.

The canoe was a great choice IMO and I really like seeing a young family getting into canoe camping. Hopefully, the kids will embrace it enough that they can post trip reports of extended wilderness solos when I'm too old. (gotta plan ahead, ya know)
