A rowboat is a small, lightweight boat designed for human-powered movement across water. It typically features oars, which are long poles with flat ends used to propel the boat forward. Rowboats can be made from various materials, including wood, fiberglass, and aluminum, and are often used for recreation, fishing, or transportation on lakes and rivers. Rowboats come in different sizes and designs, accommodating anywhere from one to several passengers. They are easy to maneuver and can be used in calm waters, making them popular for leisurely outings. Many people enjoy rowing as a form of exercise and a way to connect with nature.
