Designed for the smaller rivers and lakes of the Northeast, theAdirondackis ideal for that region, and it has attractions that make it popular everywhere.

Meant for day outings and for trips of a night or two, this model only has medium volume, but it paddles very efficiently with a light-to-moderate load.Canoe & Kayak Magazinetested it and said, "This is one smooth-paddling canoe, and it has excellent final stability. It's a bit less initially stable, but that is what gains the efficient paddling and glide."

TheAdirondacktravels more easily than ourFisherman, Heron, Aurora,orRoguebut less so than our other tandems. Among 16' hulls from all builders, however, theAdirondackis sleeker and has less rocker. These aspects make it a straight-tracking, easy-paddling canoe. A 16'-long hull, if very well designed, can be at the threshold of having good speed and glide in the absolute sense (rather than just compared to other 16' models), and this is definitely a performance-oriented canoe among medium-short designs.

Of the hull-material choices for theAdirondack,our Tuf-weave Flex-core model has fine performance at an appealing price. The Kevlar version is ideal to portage into remote lakes, or for people who struggle carrying a heavier canoe. And for really shallow, rocky streams, our RoyalexAdirondackis best. It combines the durability of Royalex with paddling ease not found in any aluminum hull, and rarely in a plastic one.
