From the family canoe club
A little history.
A whole lot of George.
Can U Canoe began as a family canoe club in Westland, Michigan, in 1978. George was drawn by our founder’s dad and became part of the crew’s river tradition.
Today, that tradition lives on through river-inspired apparel, stickers, and a plainspoken reminder to take care of the places we paddle. George brings the attitude. You bring your trash back.

What is Paddle Clean America?
The gear carries
the message.
You do the good.
Paddle Clean America is the river-stewardship message behind Can U Canoe: pack out what you bring in, respect wildlife, and help the next generation learn good river habits.
You don’t need a new shirt to start. Pick up your wrapper. Bring a trash bag. Leave the bank better than you found it.
