Canoe Basics

Canoeing is a fun pastime and easy to learn. One of the first things to learn are the parts of a canoe and paddle so when you take lessons, you will know what the instructor is referring to.  In this section, you will find illustrations that show the parts of a canoe and paddle as well as a video to reinforce the same.
