Ideal to haul heavy loads on highly-challenging rivers.
One
glance shows the Cascade doesn't resemble a typical Wenonah. Most of
our models have sharp ends, vertical stems, and a straight keel-line.
Those elements make a canoe track straight and travel fast. They are
the aspects of a hull made to perform best on lakes or calm rivers.
This canoe has blunt ends, angled stems, and 2" of rocker. It's
also quite deep, and is one of our wider hulls. There's no mistaking
the Cascade's mission; fast rivers, and treacherous waters.
The Cascade turns and draws beautifully on a strong current. It has
loads of seaworthiness and retains it when heavily weighted. Flare fore
and aft deflect spray, and at 17'6", it has plenty of room for gear.
You can use the Cascade lightly loaded to run rapids just for fun, but
its capacity makes it ideal for heavy tripping on swift rivers.
The Cascade also paddles fairly well on quiet water. You can use it
for fishing or sightseeing on lakes, but it?s not well suited to long
or heavy trips, except on rivers.
Although it has some resemblance to our Spirit II, the Cascade is
more specialized. It's more maneuverable and seaworthy, while the
Spirit II tracks better on moderate waters. Compared to the Rogue, the
Cascade is less maneuverable, but has more capacity.
An excellent design for river use, the Cascade remains undaunted when rocks block your path.
