• About Classic Cedar Plank and Rib "Cedar Strip" Canoes

Made from Eastern White Cedar or B.C. Red Cedar, trimmed in Mahagony, these paddling Classics can be enjoyed for a lifetime, and sought after by enthusiasts and connisuers the world over.

In this section we feature:

Legacy 16'

This 16' Canoe has been refined to the point of perfection. The Legacy has a half or “sister ribbed” White Cedar interior. The planked hull is made from select pieces of British Columbia Red Cedar. Over time the reddish tint will darken considerably creating a remarkable contrast between it, the brass tacks, and the Eastern White Cedar ribs. The Legacy is also available with canvas a skin. Each hand built hull has a distinct pattern created by the variances in colour found in the planking. The Legacy’s hull has the finest lines found in any canoe, being both extremely efficient and maneuverable. “There is simply nothing that compares”… This is the constant refrain heard from anyone lucky enough to have paddled the worlds finest 16 footer.

Signet 14' 9"

The Signet 14"9 offers a unique blend of speed and responsiveness, coupled with a lightweight design for ease of portage. The Signet maneuvers easily and glides well. A long established favorite of the discriminating intermediate and experienced canoeist. Tandem model shown with red cedar option. A solo configuration is also available.

Huron 15'10"

Our most popular recreational canoe, the Huron sports a reinforced (1/2 ribbed) interior and a wide beam for exceptional stability. For family paddling, hunting with dogs, fishing or literally any activity, on water ranging from flat to rough lake conditions, the Huron is also the choice of serious wilderness photographers, who demand the most stable craft for their art. The capacity of the Huron also lends itself to extended tripping for two adults or weekend excursions for a small family.

Langford Prospector 17.3

The Langford Prospector's shallow draft and obvious length (over 17 feet), make this canoe both extremely stable very quick, efficiently hauling large loads at a unbelievable pace. The original model was used by guides, ferrying "sportsman" to their destinations. The design allowed for the canoe even when heavily laden, to easily glide up and down shallow rivers and safely move over larger lakes. The artful blend of varying hues of Red Cedar planking, juxtaposed against the white cedar ribs, creates a striking visual impression further reinforced by the canoes size. The planked, sister, and structural ribbed interior lends a unrivaled feeling of substance and sturdiness. The 17.3's large efficient hull gave rise to the Langford Prospector 17.4 one of our most popular performance tripping designs. The 17.3 Langford Prospector is quite literally the finest cottage canoe money can buy, safely plying the waters with the entire family, and if the need arises one can put it to work filling it's historical role as a heavy duty hauler.

Heron 14'

In an age where tradition and romanticism is a thing of the past, Langford offers a cedar rowboat that is a throw back to the days when rowing on a quiet lake or pond was an experience never forgotten. The boat is handcrafted from the finest BC red cedar with double oarlocks and a square stern. For those who enjoy the solitude and peace of an early morning row or a quiet sunset outing this is the craft for you. The Heron design has graced the Muskoka Lakes for over 60 years, offering the ultimate in craftsmanship and beauty.
