How many take boats with them?

We have lots of small lakes and good rivers for canoes and kayaks to be fine on and also many with white water and those are shallow enough and narrow enough so you can walk from danger or disaster or get away from the fast water current. Very different than big lakes with open water expanse and what occurs!

BTW, we had canoed and kayaked for years but only where it's safe to do so. and always with a PFD ON!
