You enjoy day trips on the local river? This is your canoe. The NorthWest River is sixteen feet of paddling fun. It carries a lot of stuff for a sixteen-foot canoe, so don?t be afraid to stay out longer. We designed this hull with prospector-like maneuverability while maintaining the stability and classic lines of canoes like the Minnesota Canoe Association?s Guide. It?s not the fastest canoe on the planet. Who cares? The NorthWest River fits everyone?s idea of how a canoe ought to look and behave.
