THE FLEET

Choose a canoe that fits your trip

Two equipment options let you match craft to itinerary: the Standard Canoe offers roomy stability and features like backrests and center seats for families or sportsmen, while the Lightweight Canoe is built for easy loading and frequent portaging.

THE ROUTE

Rivers and lakes at your pace

The rental is designed for self-guided exploration of local rivers, ponds and slow-moving waterways — ideal for paddling at your own schedule over the rental period.

THE LOGISTICS

Delivery and inclusion make packing simpler

All rentals include paddles and personal flotation devices, and Wildwood offers free delivery and pick-up to guests camping at Bach's WOA Campground; residential delivery is available for a per-trip fee.

What the day feels like

What the week feels like

A week with a Wildwood canoe is a low-friction way to spend days moving through open water and narrow channels, switching between shoreline camps and lazy afternoon floats. With a craft matched to how much portaging you expect to do and delivery options that drop the boat at your campsite, the rhythm is yours to set.
