DESCRIPTION: The Wenonah Heron is an exceptionally well - suited Canoe for use in the Southeast. With a good blend of Steadiness and Maneuverability, the Heron is capable of handling tight, meandering streams and lazy days on small, protected waterways such as ponds and most area lakes. The versatile Heron is also Steady enough for novice paddlers to enjoy as they learn to improve their skills.

The hull material on the Heron is Royalex. The Vinyl and ABS exterior is durable, slippery and light. The Foam Core provides stiffness and buoyancy. While Royalex is somewhat more expensive than Polyethylene hulls, for most folks, the weight savings is well worth the additional expense.

Our version of the Wenonah Heron comes with a Center Seat to accommodate the occasional third paddler or child. Equipped in this configuration, our Heron is particularly well suited for Family use in typical Southeast Waters.

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES:

  • Lightweight Canoe Paddle for Touring use
