      A different kind of thrill, the thrill of falling into the water!! But that has never happened before, but look at the bright side, if you did, you'd be popular! Also a pretty cool ride, you may never get a change to go canoing but here's your chance!

    Facts and Secrets

  • The ride only operates seasonally and usually only opens on busy days of the park in the warmer times of the year, but not on rainy days. The attraction closes at dusk.
  • The canoes return by the last bend of Splash Mountain, where guides occasionally deliver an extra splash to passing riders with their oars.
  • On special times of the year they hold tournaments to see which canoe rows the fastest around Tom Sawyer Island (Pirate's Lair) and the winner gets a trophy.

    History

    Originally called Indian War Canoes, the attraction opened on July 4, 1956 as part of Frontierland’s Indian Village expansion, with real American Indian guides aboard every canoe. Guests used a "D ticket" to ride the attraction.

    The Indian War Canoes closed with Indian Village in 1971 but reopened on May 19 as Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes, inspired by the Davy Crockett Disneyland television shows, with the guides now wearing coonskin caps.

    The attraction became a part of Bear Country when that section of the park opened in 1972. The area was later renamed Critter Country in 1989.

    The canoes closed suddenly on October 3, 1998, igniting rumors that they were closed permanently; however, the attraction reopened the following June.

    Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes operates on busier days only, primarily in the summer and on weekends.
