Seven Must-Know Canoe Skills https://www.canoetips.com//seven-must-know-canoe-skills-field-stream/ Tue, 23 May 2017 22:12:56 +0000 http://www.canoetips.com/?p=32 T. Edward Nickens, writing for Field and Stream:

Entrance: If the ledge has a straight lip all the way across the river, line up where the water runs deepest and fastest over the drop. A downstream V is formed by water pouring between rocks or a gap in a cross-river ledge—that’s an ideal target, one you should go for if you can. Slow the boat with controlled back-paddling so you’re lined up perfectly with the gap you’re headed for.
