To choose the right canoe for you, first make an honest evaluation of your intended needs and uses. What types of canoeing activities will you participate in most of the time? Will you paddle mostly on calm lakes and ponds or in waves and whitewater? Will you seek lazy days fishing, exploring wilderness rivers, or the thrill of competition? Will you paddle alone or with family and friends? Once you've determined these parameters, you can choose the canoe design that will fit your needs most of the time.

CANOE TYPES To make it easier for you, we've organized our complete line of canoe models into 5 distinct categories:
Classic Wood Not so much a specific use or activity, but a feeling. Old Town began its 100-year history building wood and canvas canoes, and we still make our Wood Classics today to capture the hand-crafted heritage that takes your canoeing experience back to its roots.
General/Family Recreational canoes are suitable for a wide variety of on-water activities. They are perfect for people who want to paddle their local lake, pond or quiet river. Though these canoes do not have the performance features of more specialized canoes, their stability and versatility make them the right choice for families and newcomers to the sport of paddling.
Expedition More speed, enhanced tracking, greater secondary stability, the ability to deal with a variety of paddling conditions, including whitewater, and a large payload make these canoes well-suited to multi-day trips.
Hunting & Fishing Our Sporting canoes are designed for fishing, hunting and a variety of other outdoor activities. These platform canoes offer high initial stability, and are versatile enough to be paddled, rowed or motored. In fact, some have square sterns for mounting a motor.
The revolutionary Radisson didn't just happen by. A long process of development, experience, and good engineering produced a craft truly "born of Canadian Waters". Designed by sportsmen for sportsmen for fishing remote ponds, running a trap line or duck hunting, the Radisson answers the call of outdoorsmen who have been looking for an easy-to-portage canoe. Unlike most metal canoes, it's a quiet one too! It is completely lined with foam that effectively muffles all foot banging and tackle box sounds. A wide hull design, with added foam side sponsons, makes Radisson one of the most stable canoes on the water, great for the whole family.

You will find all accessories for your outdoor adventure, so you can dress your Kayak and Canoe with all the extras. We also carry several models of Paddles from Carlisle, Aqua Bound, Sawyer, Prijon and Bending Branches.
