Where we're from, seeking an adventure "up north" represents an escape. An ability to connect more closely with nature or with loved ones. But regardless of where you are on the map, the right canoe can help you reset the compass that lives inside you. Pointing you toward grand adventures or quiet solitude. Go out and find your "up north."
