Lake craft are vessels used on lakes and other bodies of water. The most common lake craft are rowboats, dories, and canoes. Rowboats are seven-letter vessels that are propelled by oars or paddles. Dories are four-letter vessels that are typically small and lightweight, making them easy to maneuver. Canoes are five-letter vessels that are usually propelled by a single-bladed paddle. All three types of lake craft are popular for recreational activities such as fishing, camping, and sightseeing.
