Only in a wooden canoe can you fully realize the peace and joy that comes with paddling a traditional, and elegant handmade
watercraft, that perfectly suits its environment. Our lovely wood and canvas canoes are built one at a time to special order
in our canoe shop in Atkinson, Maine. Since 1975 we have specialized in the enduring designs of 19th century canoe building
pioneer, E.M. White of Old Town, Maine. Island Falls continues to use only the finest white cedar, spruce, white ash, mahogany
and black cherry stock to produce new versions of these classic designs with all the integrity, styling, and grace of the
original models.
We also offer full restoration and repair services, scale model canoes, limited edition decorated canoes, and related artwork
and books. At Island Falls Canoe we take seriously your interests in acquiring the perfect, beautiful and enduring canoe of your dreams.
Dear Jerry and Andrea,
Today was the maiden voyage of Chesuncook. I gingerly put the boat on my car rack, tied it down and set off for
San Diego Bay. My daughter and I launched the canoe at the San Diego Yacht Club and there is no doubt who had the
best looking boat there.
It is a remarkable boat. Relatively fast, a head turner, and a pure joy to paddle. Thank you for creating such
a fine vessel.
-- Barry, San Diego
