Adirondack Canoe
Cutting through the waters of a Northern lake, almost silently, just
the slight splash of the oars. Around the next bend you might spot a
butterfly or a loon. This canoe features a more realistic and
sculptural design than many of the traditional boats out there, and
even has a little bench.
