Canoeing

gdifreedom_dot_ws asked:


I’m going on a trip this year and am needing a canoe to use on the White River. I hear that there are some pretty good rapids on this river so I’m needing a canoe that can withstand this type of stress. Can anyone suggest what kind of canoe I should buy, length and cost of this particular type of canoe ? I have roughly $400 to spend total. I would also be interested in how to obtain a canoe for this price. I have friends that tell me to try canoe rentals for their used and out of service canoes. Is this a good idea ?

Thanks a bunch.

Im planning a camping trip to muskeon with my 4 kids and am looking for the best place to camp. We plan on going to Michigan Adventure, and also want to go tubing and canoeing. Whats the best campground close to the park and Lake Michigan?

Dave in Kenai gave good advice last year and anyone else is welcome to chip in.
I’m taking my 70 year old mom to AK in June, she just retired from a pretty physical. I was in AK in 2003.
I’ve got the air tickets. It might be possible to tweak travel days but for now:
Arrive ANC Mon 1230 AM, pick up rental car, go sleep.

The next travel date is Saturday 1 PM leave ANC; 7PM arv Barrow; stay 23 hrs; leave for NYC Sun 6:20 PM.
My wants:
trip to Denali national park for 1.5-2 days.
1.5 days in Seward for the fjord tour (Last time I was in Seward our boat turned back due to ocean waves- I really want to see a good fjord tour. I’ve considered going to Valdez instead and will keep it as a back-up just in case)
Orig planned on drive to Fairbanks/Chena Hot Springs on route to Arctic Circle but with the flight to BRW, the long trip north seems pointless.
some activities for mom: sea-kayaking; lazy river-rafting, light hiking, lots of driving.
