Many outdoor enthusiasts enjoy canoeing or kayaking for recreation on ponds, lakes, and rivers. Some people use canoes and kayaks to travel across bodies of water to remote camping locations. They carry their supplies, such as tents, sleeping bags, and food, in their boats. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Voyageurs National Park, both located along the border between Minnesota and Ontario, Canada, are two of the most popular canoeing areas in North America.Whitewater canoeing and kayaking on fast-flowing rivers is another popular activity. (The term whitewater refers to the burbling foam created when fast-moving water spills over and around rocks or other obstructions.) Whitewater enthusiasts maneuver their boats around rocks, logjams and other natural obstacles. If the current and obstacles make a passage too difficult to navigate, a canoeist might make a portage, or carry the canoe over land for a short distance, thereby avoiding the danger.
