The
history of North America began on the rivers and lakes. First Nations
people were first followed by the explorers and fur traders who built
large, impressive canoes to transport people
and goods. They were known as Voyageur canoes though they were sometimes
called the Montreal canoe.
North Woods Canoe Company has recreated the practical and roomy 34' Voyageur canoe used by the fur traders while retaining its authentic appearance. We use modern construction techniques to give the modern version a level or quality and stability that the original fur traders might have wished for.
Our canoes, including the 34' Voyageur and its 25' counterpart the Selkirk, are contructed by hand-laminating many layers of woven fibreglass and roving polyester resin which produces one of the most durable and impact resistant canoes available. Kevlar reinforced strips provide additional strength and ridigity. Bottom movement or flex is controlled by sandwiching a light density foam core within the laminate.
North Woods manufacturers a complete line of canoes from 17' to 38', kayaks,
accessories as well as canoe trailers.
