Souris River Canoes

Trailhead Prospector

In collaboration with Trailhead Ottawa, one of Canada’s premier outfitters and suppliers of wilderness equipment, Souris River Canoes builds a Prospector 16’ canoe.

This Trailhead model is a design made famous from the wood-canvas era of Bill Mason. Our modification incorporates the very best of the original Prospectors. The rocker makes for improved manoeuverability in river/creek travel. It retains its open water credentials with little compromise.

If you have ever experienced the nostalgic flush of imagining yourself plying the wilderness waters in a canoe of legendary design, try a Souris River Trailhead Prospector. The design is legendary; the materials are state-of-the-art.
