A canoe trip made simple

Canoeing the Blackwater River is calm, shady, and steady — a great fit for couples, families, and anyone who likes a little extra room for a cooler and a camera. The sand-bottom water is shallow and clear, and white sandbars appear around nearly every bend, perfect for a mid-trip swim.
