Canoe and Kayak Rentals
Smoothwater has top-of-the-line canoes and kayaks for your
Temagami wilderness adventure. For flatwater trips in Temagami
we rent versatile kevlar canoes by various manufacturers,
including Scott, Arrow, Bluewater, Langford and Souris River.
Our Old Town ABS canoes are recommended for whitewater rivers. See
rental rates and weight categories.
All of our canoes are equipped with comfortable carrying yokes. Each
canoe rental includes a bow painter, one paddle per person
plus one spare, a properly sized PFD for each person, a bailer
and floating rescue rope. The ABS whitewater canoe rentals
include the required safety equipment and are equipped with
contoured foam kneeling pads.
Needing more than a watercraft? Consider
a complete
outfitting package. Or you can rent equipment
like tents, barrels, sleeping bags, thermarests and
stoves, all a la cart.
A note about our canoes and rental rates:
Each
year we renew a portion of our canoe fleet, and we meticulously
maintain and repair all of our canoes so that they are in
excellent condition for our customers.
Regarding weight: The use of materials like carbon fiber
and epoxy resins and manufacturing techniques such as vacuum
bagging can reduce weight while maintaining a canoe’s
hull stiffness. However, these canoes are more expensive
to manufacture and they are less durable. Consequently, our
extra light canoes are less able to absorb wear and tear,
particularly in an area like Temagami, which is characterized
by rocky shorelines and rugged portages. Their higher rental
price reflects their higher purchase price, their greater
maintenance cost and their shorter rental lifetime.
