A majority of our rental canoes are Wenonah Sourthfork and Northfork canoes. These durable 15\u20198\u2019\u2019 to 16\u20199\u2019\u2019 canoes are made of a three-phase Rotomolded Polyethylene material. We also offer smaller, lighter weight canoes made of Royalex material for the solo canoeists. Canoes are ideal for exploring the many subtle riffles and eddies which make the Shenandoah so much fun to paddle. There is no better way to experience this wonderful river.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:31%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-small-font-size\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#35644b\"><strong>CANOE TIPS<br><\/strong>Canoes are so versatile&nbsp;they\u2019re good in just about any river condition (except flood or dust).
