The Old Town classic wood Guide 16 was hand-shaped on hundred year old cedar forms by artisans who’s craft has been handed down from generation to generation.  Inspired by the Native American birch bark canoe, the Guide 16 paddles as beautifully as it looks. Its low profile reduces windage, while its long flat floor offers a shallow draft and ample cargo space.  A favorite of Maine backcountry guides, the Guide 16 is designed and built to the highest, most exacting standards to deliver the finest paddling experience.

This hand-built wooden boat is finished in clear fiberglass, so the beauty of the wood construction is visible.
