One of the most common questions we hear from customers when deciding on a Swift canoe is: how do I choose between a Prospector and a Keewaydin?
Thankfully, our friends Joanne and Leon are two of the best people to answer that question. As owners of beautiful Camp Arowhon in Algonquin Provincial Park, they know all about canoe design. Their camp has the largest private fleet of Swift canoes in the world with over 75 Swift Kipawas in inventory, but with retirement on the horizon they were looking for a lightweight canoe to make their adventures easier. We visited them on Teepee Lake so they could test the right canoe for their needs, and as you'll see they have a great perspective about what to look for when shopping for a canoe.
