We want you to be a part of the Hemlock Canoe community. We want you to float through life daydreaming about your next adventure. We want you to breathe more fresh air, to make more memories, to sit around more campfires with people you love, or to be able to find more of the solitude you’re looking for. We want you to fall asleep under the stars to the sounds of rippling water and loon calls- without the noise of freeways. We want you to step away from emails and reconnect with what matters. We’re not sure where your next adventure should take you, but we know your Hemlock Canoe can get you there.
If you’re looking for a paddling buddy, you can find us in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Our small but mighty team has been designing and building world class canoes for over 45 years. We’re here to help you get on the water, in the right boat for you. Our modern canoes are timeless and distinctive, and our designs were dreamt up by some of the foremost creators in the industry. We honor those roots while also branching out by using the most modern materials and inventive techniques available. Building canoes is a labor of love, but our team loves every day of it. We’re excited each time a customer sees their canoe, and we’re excited that we get to hear about every new adventure they’ll have in their Hemlock.
In addition to building new boats, we also offer many extras like canoe repair. Visit our shop if you need any paddling advice, parts or canoe related gear. We would also love to meet you at one of our demo nights, community events, or even through email or on social media. As founder Dave Curtis famously says, “the proof is in the paddling.” Come paddle with us soon!
