A canoe is a narrow, lightweight boat that is typically pointed at both ends and propelled by paddles. Canoes are often made from materials like wood, aluminum, or fiberglass, making them easy to transport and maneuver on water. They can be used for various activities, including recreation, fishing, and racing. Canoes are designed for one or more people and can be paddled solo or in tandem. They are commonly used on calm waters such as lakes and rivers. The sport of canoeing involves navigating these boats, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels.
