pack canoes
These versatile, light-weight solo canoes originated in the Adirondacks and are perfectly suited to exploring the area. Pack Canoes are designed to be easily portable, highly maneuverable and comfortable to paddle. The low seat position provides reassuring stability and the thoughtful hull designs balance ease of turning with good straight-line performance. Traditionally paddled with a double blade, these wonderful boats are equally at home in narrow creeks and rivers, small ponds and on open lakes.
When it comes to getting to or from the water or traversing between waterways during your paddling trip, this is where their light-weight construction comes into its own. Lifting on or off the car is a breeze and for portage they are light enough to just be carried on the shoulder or with a detachable yoke, if you prefer.

CRUISER PACK 148
Masterfully combining length, volume, and stability, the Cruiser 14.8 is the most versatile Pack boat Swift has ever designed. If you spend your backcountry adventures travelling light and fast the Cruiser 14.8 provides the speed of a touring kayak with the volume of a solo canoe, allowing you to pack without worry and portage with ease. Offering mid-range volume coupled with exceptional speed, the Cruiser 14.8 bears a design signature unlike anything on the market. Tucked-in gunnels at the forefront of the paddling station provide water access like a C1 racing canoe for maximum efficiency, and a rounded hull with a modern raised bow create stability comparable to a touring or recreational kayak. Snappy on the turn when leaned over in tight quarters, and more than capable if the waves come up, the Cruiser 14.8 is designed to handle whatever your adventures may entail.
