Winter Canoeing
Winter canoeing can be beautiful but it can also be quite dangerous unless certain precautions are taken. Some rules that should be followed by open boaters are:
1. Canoe those streams on which you can walk to shore at any point. It is best to stay off the larger rivers and those nearing flood stage.
2. Always have at least three boats in the party.
