The bow rocker in these craft provides great maneuverability in tight spots, while the asymmetry is even more suited to big waters, due to its excellent secondary stability, along with unbeatable tracking ease!

These canoes will continually please seasoned paddlers and novices alike who demand different things from their canoes, but get both performance and security from our proven Langford designs. Incredibly fast, easy tracking and maneuverability you have to feel to appreciate.

In this section we feature:

Muskoka 15'9"

The Muskoka offers a great combination of a large capacity, a high final stability, and volume that gives the paddler a real sense of seaworthiness. Even on the largest lakes, it's manageable size, and purposeful shape make it a wonderful canoe. Whether the use be occasionally tandem or more predominantly solo paddling the Muskoka having a similar profile to that of the Nahanni, with its performance tripping design is the perfect dual purpose asymmetrical hull,lending itself well to Solo and Tandem paddling alike. Like all of the Langford model line-up, this canoe will offer better paddling characteristics than any comparable competitors products. The Muskoka will offer this more refined performance with a larger volume, more structure, exponentially increased durability and a lighter weight to boot. A Langford is the only choice!

Nahanni 16'5"

All hyperbole aside, the Nahanni is a true performance tripper. The Nahanni more than meets the demands of the most serious interior trippers. This is the only 16 foot asymmetrical capable of backing the title of a "Lake Boat". Because of a more pronounced sweep in gunwale, greater depth in hull, class leading volume and Langford better prepares the paddler for the worst conditions. Even with a full capacity load one can watch water literally peel away from the hull. It is the integrated flare and pronounced "Spray Rail" molded directly into the hull that ensures that the Nahanni offers the highest functional capacity limit of any asymmetrical class of canoe. Annually updated hulls, 70 years of manufacture, and 20 years of specialized vacuum fusion manufacture means Langford is the only choice when performance, longevity of design are the key concerns. Our in house designers have forged the most adaptable performance tripping hulls on the market, allowing the Nahanni to fit into a wider niche than any other builder.

Northwind 17'10"

For the tripper who loves the Nahanni but goes on extended trips or likes to travel "loaded" but expects to be able to cover water as quickly as is possible regardless of weather condition. The Northwind will accelerate like the Nahanni but a full foot of extra length offers a larger capacity and truly phenomenal tracking. This extra length and the fact that the Northwind shares the same pronounced "Spray Rail" as many of our other models makes an already seaworthy design, all the more so. The choice of serious wilderness explorers, the Northwind can accommodate huge loads and 3 adults on interior wilderness expeditions, but is still versatile enough for a family trip in the park. You'll literally move like the wind!
