All About Canoes

With such a versatile design, canoes have a very complex set of elements that work together. A canoe must be light enough to be lifted or carried, yet rigid enough to stand up to impact, perhaps also be able to carry more than 20 times its own weight. Most importantly, it must be a truly great paddling experience.

Mad River Canoe offers a wider variety of designs than any other manufacturer and understands that the worth of a canoe is more than just the sum of its parts. In this section, find out for yourself about the intricate design features found in our canoes. Then head to your local Mad River Canoe dealer and try one out for yourself before you buy.
