Radisson Canoes are great for Lake Champlain, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Lake George and every body of water in the Adirondacks. The canoes are durable in rough waters but light enough to carry a good distance when trying to hike into wooded areas.
The revolutionary Radisson Canoe didn’t just happen by. A long process of development, experience, and good engineering produced a craft truly ‘Born of Canadian Waters’. Since it’s humble beginnings in a small Northern Ontario garage, the Radisson Canoe has grown to become a Canadian icon. With continued hard work over the last 60 years to develop the canoe, it has now become one of Canada’s most recognizable watercraft which now has a global customer base.
In 1947 in North Bay, Ontario, Cedric Summers, an ex WWII RCAF Air Frame Engineer and avid fisherman couldn’t find a canoe that suited his needs so he decided to build one. Having worked with lightweight aluminum in his profession of building airplanes for the air force, there was only one material to use - Lightweight Aluminum.
This was the beginning of the journey for the now legendary Radisson Canoe. The light weight Sportsmen’s Canoe has gone on to be used around the world by thousands of enthusiasts. Originally built in 12’ and 14’ Pointed models in two colours, there are now 8 models with five colour options.
Radissonl canoes are hand crafted from light gauge marine aluminum which withstands the normal use and abuse by Sportsmen but is still easy for Grandpa to load onto his vehicle. With a 38” beam and a 13” depth the 12’ Pointed weighing in at 34 lbs. is a great canoe for fishing, hunting or cruising the shoreline of your favourite lake or stream. Built to last decades the Radisson Canoe will really become one of your best pals when you take to the water no matter what you use it for.
It is a true honour to carry on the legacy of the Radisson Canoe.
