Old Town's classic cedar strip wood canoes are built on molds designs more than 100 years old. Beautiful boats designed for lake paddling and trips, cedar canoes are expensive and require greater care and maintenance than plastics and composites.
Recreation Canoes
Old Town's recreation canoes come in a variety of easy to care for materials and in shapes suitable for paddling lakes, ponds or quiet rivers. Stable and versatile, these canoes are designed for families and canoeing neophytes.
Tripping/Expedition Canoes
Old Town's high-volume traditional expedition designs carry large loads of supplies, survive hard use and negotiate whitewater and windy weather. The rockered ends provide maneuverability needed in rough conditions. Flaring at the ends keeps water out of the boat.

Features
Old Town canoes range in price from around $500 to almost $10,000. They come with a variety of features ranging from cup holders and storage compartments to almost indestructible multi-layer composite hulls, maximized for speed, maneuverability or stability. Take your pick.
