Canoe Manufacturers
At Souris River Canoes, we’re committed to helping you find the perfect canoe for
you. While we hope that that is one of our canoes, we realize that we do not build
canoes to suit all needs. Souris River Canoes concentrates on strong, lightweight,
Kevlar tripping canoes. If that’s you, stay on our site; you won’t find a better
canoe. If it is not you, the following canoe builders manufacture quality canoes
targeted to different needs.
- Fletcher Canoes, hand-crafted cedar-canvass canoes built here in Atikokan.
