Wilderness tripping
canoes tend to be long for speed and efficiency, stable with or
without a load, deep for keeping waves out of the canoe, and lightweight
for those half-mile portages in the Boundary Waters. The Bell
Northwind, Northwoods, and the Alaskan are great tripping
boats. From Bluewater, look at the Chippewa, and the Explorer.
The Mad River Horizon 17 is also a perfect canoe for the Boundary
Waters Canoe Area. Available in Royalex only.
