Mad River Canoes: Freedom

Freedom's above waterline flare keeps paddlers dry in large rapids and the shallow V hull offers exceptional secondary stability. 4" of rocker are designed into the ends of the canoe, allowing paddlers to maneuver on a dime. The bow entry is purposefully narrow for quiet paddling and quick acceleration.

Freedom

The Freedom is a versatile, tandem design offering outstanding river-running performance. Inspired by the Explorer, the Mad River Freedom has the generous cargo capacity necessary for whitewater trips along with the increased maneuverability and dryness important to river paddlers. By positioning the seats closer to the center, paddlers stay dryer. This lively Mad River canoe is fun to paddle in whitewater yet shows surprising speed in flat water.
