Down a Lazy River Canoes offer an excellent family-outing for families with older children. There is ample opportunity to play, converse, and work together to achieve a goal. This outdoor recreation which goes from creeks to riverbanks to rapids can be quite tame or very exciting.
Canoes are quiet.
Wild animals wait longer to flee from a canoe giving you a chance to see these animals or, occasionally, even observe them closely. Canoes also give you an opportunity to commune with nature, even camp along the riverbank for a night or a week. Almost any area of the US can offer a near-by canoeing opportunity. While it can be boring to canoe a low-water river, it can also be dangerous to canoe a flooded river. Experienced canoers can navigate a river that is swollen with rains and running rapidly.
