What's the best or more popular type of boat/canoe to use for Adk Brookies? Thinking of buying something I can portage in and out.Thanks-Mike
I also have a kayak, which I love, but I think most kayaks can be more difficult to portage.
I was asking which one do people prefer, I was looking to buy either a Kayak or Canoe. A lot of mixed posts. I used a Wenona at a woodsmans competition where we had to portage around a course. The Yoke was surprisingly comfortable.
Get a Hornbeck Mike. Youll be able to portage it miles.http://www.hornbeckboats.com/
Do you have a source for this?
Yes, my brother works for DEC maintenance, and the head of maintenance in Indian lake, as well as several forest rangers. From what I'm told, a Nature conservancy honcho was hiking into several ponds they acquired land adjacent to. Saw all the boats, went to the state with a complaint. Told them to start removing them according to the laws(has been on the books for years) or he would have the conservancy start doing it and charge the state. On a side note I did here some were left , not sure why, maybe they just haven't gotten to them yet? Or they aren't on forever wild state land, or the state guys don't like being threatened into doing something they don't really want to. Either way I wouldn't count on a boat being at a backwoods pond....
