A short, responsive, yet fast tandem that's solo friendly.



The Escapade defines efficiency and superb performance in one compact package. We redesigned this one in 2009, reshaping the bow and stern to improve efficiency, and adding more tumblehome to make solo paddling easier. A good fit for smaller paddlers, those who pack light, and people who prefer a shorter canoe. At 16'6" you can add a center seat to make it a maneuverable solo, as this is the most friendly length to switch between solo and tandem paddling. Truly a superior hull design and a great paddling canoe.


Paddle The Right Canoe

We want to make sure this is the canoe for you. Call or stop by for a test paddle.

Chequamegon Adventure Company stocks and sells many canoes, and that means our inventory on-hand might not include the exact layup or color that you want. We work closely with our manufacturers and sales representatives to stock a variety of canoes all season long.
