About
Nessmuking.com is named after Nessmuk—the pen name of George Washington Sears. In the 1880’s, Sears wrote about lightweight canoe travel, self-direction, and environmentalism.
Nessmuking.com offers information about lightweight canoe and kayak travel. We promote self-direction by emphasizing the do-it-yourself culture, and we believe growing paddlesport participation advances wilderness protection.
