Hit the water

The Swiss Army Knife of canoes, the Wenonah Spirit II does everything. As efficient as a long-hulled canoe and as maneuverable as a short one, the Spirit II strikes a balance between all good things. This canoe is roomy enough for long trips in the wild and stable enough for fishing, as well as being perfect for lake travel but at home on moving water.
