Are you ready to buy your canoe? Before you jump at one with your favourite colour or price tag, consider the differences canoe designs available.
Canoes are crafted for different purposes. Some are crafted for moving fast while others are designed for stability. Consider what activities you will do with your new canoe. If you will be travelling with pets or children, you should look at recreational canoes. If you want a great fishing experience, consider a sporting canoe. If you want to go camping in your canoe, look at the features of tripping canoes. If you love the history and beauty of a canoe, there's nothing like a wooden canoe.
If you're not sure where to start or you are looking for a canoe that will work well in most situations a recreational canoe will likely do. Call 613-732-2824 to speak with a representative.
