Founded in 1954 and based in Winona, Minnesota, Merrimack Canoe Company makes some of our very favorite boats. They are handmade, one at a time, by a small crew of dedicated craftsmen and artisans who create functional, organic, floating works of art. And, like a favorite pair of comfortable boots, the more you use a Merrimack, the better it looks and feels. Classic.
