What to Pack for a Canoe Trip

You don’t need the most expensive or fanciest gear to have a great trip, but a tent that doesn’t leak, a solid raincoat, a comfortable canoe paddle and a good first aid kit are all essential.

For help selecting the right gear, consult the Gear Guide.  However, if you’re a thrifty shopper and know what you’re looking for, quality used gear can often be purchased from outfitters, thrift stores and outdoor gear swaps. But if you’re new to canoe tripping, you might want to consider renting gear from an outfitter or guide until you know that you’re committed to the canoe-camping experience.

For a list of what to pack download the Canoeing.com Gear Checklist [PDF] or check out one of the links provided to the right.
