Our Old Town
Canoe Special: The GUIDE 147 - only $625.00
|
Old Town offers a wide variety of canoe models and designs, each with
features and design elements to meet specific paddling needs. In choosing your
Old Town canoe, keep in mind that no single boat can do everything well. At Old
Town, we make specialized canoes designed to do one thing very well, along with
general recreation canoes that will do most things moderately well.
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.
One final thought: Canoeing is meant to be a pleasurable and exciting
sport. Having the right canoe to meet your needs will greatly enhance
your enjoyment on the water, as will having the proper safety equipment
and accessories. As time goes on, you may seek new canoeing experiences
and other designs. At Old Town Canoe, we're confident that no matter
what type of paddling you're into, we have a quality canoe for you.
Canoe types
To make it easier for you, we've organized our
complete line of canoe models into four distinct categories based on how
they function on the water, but if you have any trouble locating what
you are looking for, please let us know:
- 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
General/Family 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
Expedition canoes are high volume canoes designed for whitewater and/or
carrying large loads. They are rockered for maneuverability, deep and
flared in the ends for dryness and built to withstand heavy abuse. Also
a great choice for large family outings.
- Hunting & Fishing
Our Hunting & Fishing canoes are designed for a variety of 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.
