Overview
A heritage of craftsmanship meets modern innovation. The iconic Explorer series – the “everyone” canoe – is re-engineered in the LT at a fraction of the weight, while still retaining the design’s trademark Royalex® by Spartech® durability, stable handling, and capacity.

Perfect for family outings or tandem paddlers out for a long trip, the remarkable reduction in weight to 65 lbs. makes it easier than ever to manage in and out of the water. And don’t be fooled by the lighter duty hull – the LT is a fully capable canoe that shrugs off bumps and grinds in shallow or technical water.
