What Users Are Saying
I bought a Pocket Canyon last season and am having a lot of fun paddling tandem whitewater with it. I paddled it solo last summer on the S. Nahanni River Moose Ponds section and it handled everything beautifully. I love this boat!!
The Pocket Canyon does exactly what I need in a canoe. I picked it because it has lots of rocker, (4 inches), and because of it's length. At (14.5 feet), it handles serious white water and tracks well on the flat stuff too. The result is an extremely agile boat that is incredibly maneuverable, yet it's well suited for multi day trips in all sorts of water conditions. This is hard to find in a boat, one that does both, & does them well. Its real secret is in it's length. That's why it tracks as well as it does. It's also 16 inches deep, helping keep it dry inside. Freestyle canoeing is really fun in this boat. I'd recommend it to any one who is serious about seeking adventure in a canoe, and looking to increase their skill level. -Theron Mccollough
Bought my Pocket Canyon in May ‘24 and just returned from June ‘24 epic days on the Peshtigo River of Wisconsin. After hitting dozens of boulders I’m happy to say my canoe came out royally - including the Mango Camouflage (RealTree) covering still looking great. I get many compliments on it - but the best thing about it is how it handles both as a solo and tandem - plus the fact that it appears to be indestructible!
