Established formally in 1967, Wenonah Canoe has roots reaching back to the 1950's. The company is the outgrowth of a lifelong devotion to paddling by Mike Cichanowski, who began canoeing as a young Boy Scout, and who began manufacturing canoes while still in college.

Today, Wenonah is among the largest makers of canoes in general, and is the largest maker of ultra-light and high-performance models. Our thirty-plus recreational and competition designs are distributed by nearly 400 knowledgeable paddlesports retailers throughout the U.S. and Canada, and in several European countries.

We make a diverse range of canoe types, each created to suit the needs of particular individuals or of specific paddling situations. We also offer choices of hull materials, construction methods, and optional equipment to tailor our canoes even more closely to their owners.
