Inside, the canoe is comfortable. The bow slider extension is ample enough that even a short person can move forward to use the end tank as a foot brace. My paddling partner, Heather, reports that the bow position with the seat slid forward is as comfortable as any we've tested in the past couple of years. In the stern, gunwales are a mite wide, and at first I hit my hand on the side of the canoe and have to adjust my stroke. The adjustment comes easily, and for the rest of the trip I am comfortable in the stern.
Seats are high enough that kneeling comes easily.
This is a high-volume canoe and deep in the center, which makes it look shorter than it really is. It carries quite a load without complaint. We put three heavy rocks in the Trillium to see how it would handle a load. With about 600 total pounds, the movement of the boat dampened and the ride was far more initially stable. Yet the Trillium moves right along without much added paddling effort and is still easy to control or turn.
