[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5066877, member: 2871"] Yeah, I know, this is an old thread, but I just found it and I love canoe tripping. Two days? Shoot; how about two weeks or more? Canada, northern Michigan, Adirondack Mountains of New York, upper Delaware River from NY state line to the Delaware Water Gap, lower Colorado River between California and Arizona, Conasauga River here in southeast Tenasi and well down into Georgia (could have continued that one for two months and gone all the way down to Mobile Alabama)(it took me four days just to go from the TN/GA state line down to Calhoun), and so on. Hiwassee River here in east TN from Reliance down to Charleston would take about 1 1/2 to 2 days by canoe. Love canoe tripping. Much better IMO than hiking the AT. Plenty of streams here in TN to float down. Camp on islands wherever possible, otherwise just be quiet, keep your campfires small, and clean up your campsite before you move on. Have a good water filter and get your drinking and cooking water from the river. Burn or bury your waste. Beware of dams and waterfalls that don't appear on maps and that you may suddenly come upon without warning. Also beware of motorboats on the larger rivers (I carry a handful of rocks to throw at kids in motorboats and jet skis who think it fun to circle canoes trying to roll them over). Beware of log jams blocking the smaller streams. Beware of rapids. The type of canoe can make a difference. A keel is good on the open waters of lakes and big rivers, but you most definitely do not want a keel if you run rapids. I have four canoes and two kayaks; each designed for a different purpose. And yet, I want another; a sailing canoe. ():~) [/QUOTE]
