Recreational Canoes

Recreational canoes that are suitable for a wide varity of on-water activities. They are perfect for people who want to paddle their local lake, pond of quiet river. Though these canoes do not have the performance features of more specialized canoes, their stability and versatility make them the choice for families and newcomers to the sport of paddling.

The past is about to make history.
"It is extremely graceful in appearance and very steady, combining beauty in outline with speed and ease of paddling." That's how Old Town's 1903 catalog described our then-new Charles River canoe, and we believe those words ring just as true today.

Re-issued for 2005, our new Charles River combines yesterday's classic design with contemporary materials (Polylink3™ or Oltonar/Royalex®) to provide greater durability and less weight, giving intermediate to advanced paddlers a canoe that matches the "ideal canoe" they've always pictured with the performance they've only dreamed of.

  • Black vinyl gunwales
  • Nylon web seats
  • Polyethylene decks with grab handles
  • Ash thwart and yoke
  • Durable, yet lightweight
