When coming to canoe it is important to remember many of the rivers you will be traveling are remote and have very little road access to them. Canoe and water safety are paramount to having a safe and enjoyable time.
1. You should have solid swimming skills and that you should feel comfortable being underwater.
2. You should wear a life jacket at all times. Be sure the jacket fits snuggly and is a vest type.
3. If you plan to travel on challenging white water rivers make sure you wear a solid, correctly fitting helmet. These helmets can be found at most sporting goods stores.
4. Know you skills. Make sure your canoeing skills are such that you are not canoeing out of control. Know how to stop your canoe to stay out of danger.
5. Make sure you research a river prior to running it. Scout the rapids and make sure you carry plenty of maps and know where possible pull out spots are.
