Canoeing and Kayaking

Canoeing and kayaking are water sports activities where participants use small, narrow watercraft to paddle through rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water.

In canoeing, participants typically use a canoe, which is an open-top boat with paddles that have a single blade on each end. Canoes are often propelled by sitting or kneeling and using the paddle to move through the water.

In kayaking, participants use a kayak, which is a closed-top boat where the paddler sits with their legs stretched out in front. Kayaks use a double-bladed paddle, and the paddler uses alternating strokes on each side to move forward.

Both canoeing and kayaking offer recreational and adventurous experiences, allowing people to explore waterways, enjoy nature, and engage in physical activity. These water sports are popular for leisure, fitness, and even competitive purposes.
