[QUOTE="bgeddes, post: 276592, member: 5938"] My kayaking experience goes back to '96, before it was a fad, and I canoed for decades before. Either a small canoe or a big kayak would work. A good touring kayak, something 14' or more will be fast in the water, and carry a good amount of gear. A canoe the same size will offer a bit more carrying capacity but will lack the maneuverability of the kayak. In my opinion a kayak is a more comfortable ride. As far as a Jon boat, if you are not willing to spend the money on fuel for a small outboard, it would be a lot more work. Another factor is rough patches of water on the river. If there are any a Jon would not be ideal. [/QUOTE]
