DESCRIPTION: The Wenonah Northfork is an exceptionally well - rounded and affordable canoe. With a good blend of Steadiness, Seaworthiness and Efficiency, the Northfork is capable of handling Class II rivers and choppy days on larger lakes. This Canoe is also perfectly well suited for lazy days on small, protected waterways such as ponds and slow moving streams. The Northfork also has enough capacity for extended camping trips. However, this versatile canoe is Steady enough for novice paddlers to enjoy as they learn to improve their skills.

The hull material on the Northfork is Foam Core Polyethylene. The Polyethylene exterior is extremely tough and durable. The Foam Core provides stiffness and buoyancy. Foam Core Polyethylene is also very affordable; however the material is quite heavy. Those looking for lighter weight without sacrificing durability should look to Royalex hulls materials as a solution.

For the kind of conditions and abuse this canoe can take, there is not a better paddling canoe on the market than the versatile Northfork, dollar for dollar.
