canoe travel

Waterway paddle expedition

Canoe travel is journeying by canoe, typically through wilderness waterways.

The term evokes multi-day expeditions on lakes and rivers, portaging between bodies of water, and camping along the route.

It suggests a particular style of outdoor recreation: We spent two weeks doing canoe travel in the Boundary Waters.
