Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes was an attraction in [[Frontierland]] at the [[Magic Kingdom]].
==History and Description==
Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes opened with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971 <ref name= "D23"> https://d23.com/a-to-z/davy-crocketts-explorer-canoes/ </ref>. On the attraction, guests boarded 35 foot long wooden canoes and embarked from Frontierland to tour the Rivers of America <ref name= "dated"> https://waltdatedworld.com/id185.htm </ref>. On the Explorer Canoes, guests followed the same path as the [[Mike Fink Keelboats Keel Boats]] and the [[Liberty Square Riverboats ]] around [[Tom Sawyer Island]]. The boats were piloted by two cast members who wore coonskin caps and told punny jokes (similar to the skippers on the [[Jungle Cruise]]), as guests paddled the canoes. Along the way, these cast members would also point out various sights on the Rivers of America, such as the Beacon Joe, the burning settler cabin, and the Indian Village <ref name= "dated"/>.
The Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes ran relatively unchanged until the winter of 1993, when the attraction permanently closed.
