Northwoods Canoe Company

In the village of Atkinson, Northwoods Canoe Company carries forward Maine’s deep canoe-building tradition through hand-crafted wood and canvas boats rooted in classic design. Founded in 1984, the shop is known for building and restoring traditional canoes using time-honored techniques and carefully sourced materials. Each canoe reflects decades of experience and close attention to form, function and finish, resulting in boats designed for wilderness travel and quiet waters alike. In addition to custom canoe construction and restoration, the company supports the craft through canoe kits, parts and hands-on building classes. Northwoods Canoe Company stands as one of Maine’s premier makers of traditional wood and canvas canoes.
