Nova Craft Canoes We have sold, and paddled Nova Craft canoes for several decades.
Thru this experience we have found that any canoe they build is well made and versatile.
Kevlar Skid Plates may be added to any Nova Craft canoe.
Kevlar Skid Plates are available in a Do-it-yourself kit, or you may have them professionally installed by NovaCraft or Oak Orchard.
Kevlar Skid Plates add a tremendous amount of abrasion protection and impact resistance to the ends of the canoe.

Did you know? ...OUR new NOVACRAFT Canoes have a limited LIFETIME WARRANTY.
| This Chestnut Canoe was originally built with the outdoorsman of the early 1900s in mind. The mission was to design a craft that would enable outdoorsmen to paddle small creeks as well as large lakes and be small enough to get through the then nonexistent portage trails at the same time. To meet these unique needs, The Chestnut Canoe Company brought something efficient yet maneuverable into production. | ||||||||||||

| Our new Fox 14 is an ideal choice for solo paddlers looking for independent adventures on flatwater lakes, lazy rivers and lots of fun in mild rapids. Its shorter length and minimal rocker give this canoe a good balance of tracking and turning characteristics. At 14 the Fox is the perfect size for a relaxing evening paddle around the lake but still large enough to fit enough gear for a week-long trip into the backcountry. The narrow width makes this a faster, efficient design helping you cover distance with ease and its shallower depth catches less wind. This design accommodates soloists who prefer cruising around using a traditional single blade OR a double bladed paddle. Slight tumblehome on the sides helps for easier paddle strokes and the shallow arch bottom gives the paddler a stable feel but still allows for leaning the boat over to paddle Canadian-style. Of course the Foxs small size and light weight make it easy to get on and off the car by yourself. The Fox 14 will get solo paddlers into the tranquility of nature with a beautiful balance of ease and performance.
