ADK

Where do you want to go? If your sense of curiosity takes you up narrow streams or under low-hanging trees to explore hidden coves, the ADK is the canoe for you. Extremely lightweight for impulsive paddles, never a struggle to load this boat on the car. Sitting low in the water, feel free to use your kayak paddle. Your heavy kayaks will collect dust in the garage.
