Traditional Open Canoes

The Charles River 158 is a great looking canoe and has been styled with a flared bow and stern for a traditional look. It is a great canoe for paddling in flat water and tracks in a straight line very well due to its strong keel. It is a stable canoe and is very popular choice with families as well as activity centres.

There is plenty of space onboard for all your gear needed on day trips and is a good choice for anglers and nature watchers.

The Charles River comes with two comfortable wood/webbed seats, moulded carry handles for two people to easily carry as well as a yoke and thwart for solo portaging. The Charles River also features a low gunwale to make solo paddling easier. The tumblehome and flared sides above the water line to help prevent the canoe from tipping and make it easy to paddle while still having a narrow look and feel.

The Charles River 158 is made from Old Town's PolyLink construction which helps to keep the canoe lightweight while also being very durable
