CANOES

Like a Swiss Army Knife, the Spirit II does everything. As efficient as a long-hulled canoe and as maneuverable as a short one, the Spirit II strikes a balance between all good things. Roomy enough for Boundary Waters trips, stable enough for fishing. Perfect for lake travel but at home on moving water. Seaworthy and predictable in wind and waves. The Spirit does it all. No wonder Canoe & Kayak Magazine said, "if you could have only one canoe to serve all your needs for the rest of your life, the Spirit II would be one of the very few candidates."

The Champlain is one of our largest tandems--a larger, more stable version of our versatile Spirit II. The Champlain has the efficiency and capacity to haul heavy loads long distances, but is also pleasant to paddle lightly loaded. Its length and efficient design give it good glide and speed, while Its slightly rockered keel-line makes it surprisingly nimble. The Champlain is massively stable and serves up predictable performance in challenging conditions. It's stability and size make it a great choice for larger paddlers. Consider the Champlain if your adventures will take you to big lakes and open water or if you need an efficient canoe that will handle a mountain of gear.

The Advantage is the classic Wenonah performance solo canoe. Perfect for fitness paddling, light touring or just getting out on the water to enjoy a summer afternoon. If you're an experienced paddler who loves the feeling of glide and performance in an efficient design, the Advantage is the boat for you.

The Escape is a shorter version of the popular Minnesota II, with similar lines and the increased maneuverability that comes along with a shorter canoe. Our medium sized performance tandem, it's a very versatile craft. The Escape is a sleek performance canoe that will paddle well on streams and rivers, as well as larger lakes. It has fair depth and width to hold plenty of gear, while its flared bow and extra depth at bow and stern keeps you dry in the choppiest waters. If you love the speed and glide of the Minnesota II but are looking for a canoe that's easier to manage on brushy portages and twisty streams the Escape is the one to choose.

The Minnesota II is in a class of its own--the most efficient, straight-tracking, tandem tripping canoe ever made. The Minnesota II is fast and seaworthy when loaded with gear, yet fun to paddle lightly loaded. This rocket of a canoe is a favorite of Wenonah staff for after work paddles on the Mississippi. Its long waterline rewards skilled paddlers with unmatched glide and speed and it's straight tracking hull is easy to keep pointed toward your destination. If you're looking for a canoe that is an absolute joy to paddle on flatwater but is capable of tackling an ambitious wilderness expedition, the Minnesota II is the right choice. The Minnesota II--the canoe that revolutionized portaging and long-distance paddling in the Boundary Waters and beyond.

Designed for three paddlers and their gear, the 20' MN 3 travels faster, with less effort than most tandems. A Boundary Waters Canoe Area campsite maximizer, the MN 3 will allow that ninth camper to come along while following the nine people, four canoes regulation. A sliding bow seat, fixed stern seat, and removable center seat accommodate three paddlers comfortably, and you can even add a fourth if the whole family wants to come along. This is a fine cruising canoe that will hold all the gear and people you want to take.
