For 25 years, Souris River Canoes has been perfecting the creation of wilderness
tripping canoes made with duPont™ KEVLAR® fibre. We believe we have the
best composite canoes on the market. There are many reasons to choose a
Souris River.
The Souris River Advantage
There are many intangible reasons why we are proud of our canoes. Like 25 years
of ongoing research and development. Like the fact that almost all of our
employees have been with us over seven years, and many have been here over
ten. Like the fact that our builders are also paddlers, or that outfitters buy our
canoes because they need repairs far less often than other brands.
Here are fifteen very tangible reasons why our canoes are superior. Take this list
to our competitors and compare. You might find other canoes that share some
of our features, but you won’t find any other canoe that has all of them.
Novice and experienced paddlers alike will love
this canoe, designed by Keith Robinson. You
will find it quick on the water, yet extremely
stable for a 16 footer. It tracks very well and
manoeuvres with ease.
Whether you use this canoe for fishing, day
outings or short to medium wilderness
tripping, you will be delighted with its
versatility. The Quetico 16 also makes an
excellent solo canoe. (For other solo options,
check-out our
Tranquility.) You actually get the benefit of
both options in one canoe.
Wilderness 18
The Wilderness 18 was designed by Keith Robinson to give the more experienced
paddler some added water speed while still retaining load capacity and stability.
While we believe the needs of novice paddlers are best served in our Quetico line of
canoes, we find many experienced trippers absolutely love the Wilderness 18.

Outfitters and park wardens alike, both in Canada and the U.S., swear by this canoe.
It is deep as well as sleek and handles rough water well, even when heavily loaded.
If you’ve earned your share of calluses at the end of a paddle and would like to
arrive a little faster, this may be the canoe that will get you there.
