Growing up in Central Florida, my buddies and I would spend entire days of our summer vacation canoeing up and down the spring-fed river that bordered our neighborhood. We knew every inch of that river and were experts at chasing turtles, catching bass, and causing trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we grew older those daytime adventures led to overnight canoe camping trips on a public campsite a few miles downstream from our homes. Those were some of the best times of my life and I’ve never lost that same passion I had as a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m excited to share my love of canoe camping with you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post, I pass along all of my tips and tricks for a successful and safe<\/em><\/span><\/strong> canoe camping experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Table Of Contents<\/p> Your trip starts before you go with planning. You’ll need to figure out where you’re going, what you’ll need, and what to pack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Setting off in a canoe (or any boat) without any idea of where you’re going and what to expect is a recipe for disaster. You must research and plan your route in advance to ensure a safe and successful adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Planning an effective route requires understanding the variables associated with different waterway types – such as ocean currents, white water rapids, and shallow depths on lakes or rivers – so you can prepare accordingly for safety during paddling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPlan Your Trip<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
