The OG River Craft

Before rafts, before kayaks… there were canoes. And they’re still one of the best ways to experience the river. Spacious, steady, and made for two, canoes are perfect for good convos, packed coolers, and laid-back paddling through every twist and turn. Whether it’s your first float or part of a summer tradition, this is the kind of day you’ll talk about for years. Pick a route, grab your crew, and we’ll handle the rest.

Some things never go out of style — and a canoe on the Elk is one of them.
