Check Lists
The canoe camping check lists
cover all types of trips where you will travel the final
distance by canoe.
On some trips, you might cross a lake to camp at a secluded
campsite. On other trips, you might move camp every day or
so, as you paddle from lake to lake or down a river.
Add this page to your "favorites" list so you can return
often when you are planning your trips.
I suggest you print out this list. You can then add, delete
or modify some items in order to customize a list just for
your family, or for each specific trip. The gear in this
list is more than you will need on every trip, and some gear
is to be carried in only one canoe of a larger group.
