A compact canoe with classic lines, great for exploring quiet waters.Practical for tandem or solo paddling, the Heron is a compact canoe that is excellent for casual activities on a variety of waters.This type of all-around canoe is often preferred by people who aren't doing exotic trips to unusual destinations, but who enjoy a canoe casually for a variety of purposes.When we designed the Heron we wanted to prove that a well thought out recreation design can be pleasant to paddle as well as functional.The Heron's blend of stability, efficiency, maneuvering and capacity makes it truly useful in a broad range of situations.Stable enough for less experienced paddlers to use comfortably, the Heron's performance makes traveling longer distances practical, including one or two day trips.The Heron tracks better and is more efficient than our Fisherman.Yet at 15 feet it is still short enough for tight, twisting streams and occasional rapids.The Heron is also quite practical for the solo paddler. Our comfortable SuperSeats are easily added to the existing seats, these provide a padded seat and supportive backrest while you paddle.  SuperSeats can face either direction and they are quickly removed for cartopping.Go paddling for the day OR for a weekend.Go as a couple OR solo.Paddle the ponds, lakes, creeks, and easy rivers...Your new Wenonah Heron is so light and compact, Yes, you can do it all. A small, stable, manoeuvrable canoe for relaxed paddling and low-key adventures.Designed for couples, the Heron is an easy paddling and stable platform for outdoor enjoyment.Heron delivers easy paddling and good stability.Its shallow arch bottom is very steady on fair waters, and its broad beam draws just inches.Heron is easy to control, and its shallow draft give access to areas that would be difficult for another craft.Being that so compact and portable our Heron is an ideal choice for use at the cottage or cabin where kids will use it often.  Parents will find it to be a fine paddling canoe that is also safe on waves due to its proper depth.Amateur Naturalists like the Heron for wildlife viewing, star-gazing, or other day trips.  Older folks landlocked by the bulk of their old plastic or fiberglass canoe will be able to continue their passion out on the water with our Kevlar ultralight at just 36 lbs.Heron is often used by one OR two people for recreation paddling or day touring.
