Is a License Tag required? It will sit low and car tail lights and turn signals will be seen. Trailer does have lights. Want to know if the Law requires a trailer tag in Florida.
An easier way to transport your canoe is to strap it to your roof rack. This means you don't have to go through all the troubles that come with towing a trailer. If your vehicle doesn't have a roof rack or if the canoe is too fragile to go on the roof,

Only in open-boating can weekend warriors in over-sized Old Towns rub shoulders with world champion freestyle paddlers, sponsored video boaters and cutting-edge designers in nine days of revelry to kick off the paddling season. The event is Ain’t Louie Fest (ALF), a loosely organized affair that wrapped up this week with a nebulous history that brings hundreds of whitewater canoeists to the rivers of the Southeast. “We’ve got some of the most iconic people in open-boating and everybody gets to paddle with them,” says Knoxville, Tenn., native and canoeing phenom Dooley Tombras.

Frequently dismissed as a 'nature poet' and an 'Indian Princess' E. Pauline Johnson (1861-1913) was not only an accomplished thinker and writer but a contentious and passionate personality who 'talked back' to Euro-Canadian culture. "Paddling Her Own Canoe" is the only major scholarly study that examines Johnson's diverse roles as a First Nations champion, New Woman, serious writer and performer, and Canadian nationalist.
A Native advocate of part-Mohawk ancestry, Johnson was also an independent, self-supporting, unmarried woman during the period of first-wave feminism. Her versatile writings range from extraordinarily erotic poetry to polemical statements about the rights of First Nations. Based on thorough research into archival and published sources, this volume probes the meaning of Johnson's energetic career and addresses the complexities of her social, racial, and cultural position. While situating Johnson in the context of turn-of-the-century Canada, the authors also use current feminist and post-colonial perspectives to reframe her contribution. Included is the first full chronology ever compiled of Johnson's writing.
Pauline Johnson was an extraordinary woman who crossed the racial and gendered lines of her time, and thereby confounded Canadian society. This study reclaims both her writings and her larger significance.
