17’ Black River Canoe

Black River Canoes are the best built canoes in the United States. The following explains in detail just why! By knowing these facts, you will realize why you should own the best! A Black River Canoe! Each Black River Canoe was designed, not by accident, not by a canoest who learned how to draw up a set of plans, but by two of the most competent naval architects in the United States. Each model has been made available only after a great deal of testing to determine not only performance, but the quality of all materials and manufacturing procedures. All this to make sure that Black River Canoes will remain the very best for a lifetime. Who besides Black River Canoes will put their money where their mouth is by offering a limited lifetime warranty? Our models and molds are all kept in top condition to insure that only a top quality finish is available. This is for the best appearence and easiest paddling. We use only the best isophthalic or modified NPG gel-coats available. They give the greatest strength, scratch resistance, and flexibility and more weatherability than the orthothalics that many manufacturers use. The fiberglass used in a Black River Canoe is custom made to our specifications. Each fiberglass material is custom woven to meet the strength requirements of each model. Because of this, we get the most strength possible for the weight in each Black River Fiberglass Canoe.
