If you are serious about purchasing a canoe, kayak, or Wee Lassie Style boat, you owe it to yourself to check out Hemlock Pete’s Ultralight Canoes and Kayaks where quality and service are more than a slogan. Call or email for a reservation if you want to be sure we are there and the weather is safe for paddling. Bring your arm energy out to Falls Lake to test your paddling power in our 14-passenger Big Canoes. We rent quality canoes and outfitting equipment from our main office at the Bell Lake access point. After a range of last minute items were purchased from local stores we set off to an arranged access point to Loch Tay in the area of Ardeonaig. We can deliver Canoes for use outside the Anglesea area for use on the many rivers in our region. Camping is a recreational activity carried outside in the open. As such on a damp, cool Saturday morning we met: Alistair & Iain; Maccy & Helen; Simon & Amy; Andy and Ian outside Killin Outdoor Centre.

Our designs are built by amateurs. We perform historically accurate restorations with particular attention to the details that set these older boats apart from the mass produced boats of today, as well as offering new builds of wooden canoes to traditional designs. Let us have a discussion in which your benefit will be derived from discovering how others went wrong in their designs — the mistakes they made. When you’re on a downstream course, leaning forward will prevent a probable tip should your canoe hit an obstacle.
Whether or not you attach a motor, it’s a durable, fast, and stable canoe that is suitable for fishing, hunting, or general recreation. It measures around 40″ in width, 15″ in depth and has a bow height of about 25″-26″. All around, this is a top choice for anyone looking to mount a motor on a canoe. This means the canoe will have to cut through the water, while the kayak floats on top. Water, soda, burgers, hot dogs, fries, ice cream, water ice, cold/hot sandwiches, subs, and more!

These events are usually fully booked up within 24 hours of us advertising them around «The Community» and this one was no exception, we’d hoped to be away doing something similar at Easter but restrictions did not allow, as such when we tentatively rearranged for the May Bank Holiday in the hope that Covid guidelines would allow just about all of those booked for Easter swiftly transferred across to the new date.
