Find Your Canoe

Black Aesthetic Photo Collage Instagram Story

Your canoe should be a lifelong adventure sidekick. It should help you reconnect with what matters. It should be built for paddlers by paddlers. Our canoe builders are craftspeople, neighbors, experts, and friends who look forward to being a part of your journey. 

Rooted in the Finger Lakes paddling region of New York, Hemlock Canoe Works has been redefining modern canoes for a generation. Our storied canoes have nothing missing and nothing extra; everything is in the right place. The proof is in the paddling.

If you’re looking for a canoe, you owe it to yourself to find one that fits. We build lightweight canoe models to fit all paddler sizes and water types. Our boats are built to order by hand. Use our web tools to help pick the canoe that fits you or visit us for advice and a free test paddle.
