The canoe camping check lists cover all types of trips where you will travel the final distance by canoe. On some trips, you might cross a lake to camp at a secluded campsite. On other trips, you might move camp every day or so, as you paddle from lake to lake or down a river. Add this page to your "favorites" list so you can return often when you are planning your trips. I suggest you print out this list. You can then add, delete or modify some items in order to customize a list just for your family, or for each specific trip. The gear in this list is more than you will need on every trip, and some gear is to be carried in only one canoe of a larger group. Have fun!
