探险独木舟 Intended for long trips and heavy loads, these massive canoes are often powered by more than two paddlers and are occasionally fitted with a spray skirt. Design characteristics, such as moderate rocker and increased bow depth, make them a very dry ride, even in open water with rougher conditions. Typically 18′-20′ in length, they are capable of hauling more weight than canoes in other categories. Unlike smaller canoes, these paddle best when weighted to compensate for the high amount of displacement and depth. 为了长途旅行和沉重的负荷，这些巨大的独木舟通常由两名以上的桨手提供动力，偶尔还会配备喷水裙。 设计特点，如适中的摇杆和增加的船首深度，使他们非常干燥的驾驶，即使在开阔的水域和更粗糙的条件下。 通常长度为18'-20'，与其他类别的独木舟相比，它们能够运送更多的重量。 与较小的独木舟不同，这些桨在加权时能够最好地补偿大量的位移和深度。

河流独木舟 Specifically designed to handle fast-moving rivers and streams, these solo and tandem canoes range in length from 15′-17′. Typically, hulls are designed without keels and are symmetrical from end to end, with rounded, shallow-vee, or flat bottoms, and feature flared sides, and generous depth. But the most distinguishing characteristic should be the generous rocker found on each end. In perfect combination, these design features will provide the maximum maneuverability for making quick turns, moving laterally to avoid rocks and ledges, and will soften the effect of crossing sharp eddy lines. 这些独奏和串联独木舟专门设计用于处理快速移动的河流和溪流，长度范围从15'-17'。 通常情况下，船体没有龙骨设计，从头到尾对称，圆形，浅V形或平底，表面呈喇叭形，宽大的深度。 但最显着的特点应该是在每一端找到慷慨的摇杆。 在完美的组合下，这些设计特点将为快速转弯提供最大的可操作性，横向移动避开岩石和壁架，并将软化横过急剧的涡流线的效果。
