The pricing below is our reservation rate, add $10 per canoe for our regular walk-in, non reservation rate. (Due to COVID we are requiring reservations and limiting our trip options. We are currently reservation only.) Old Towns are wider, do not have a keel on the bottom like the aluminum canoes, have contoured seats, do not heat up as much in the sun, and ride smoother over rocks and low spots.
