The magic of the Algonquin Prospector comes from the integrated keel, built into it's streamlined hull. For us this combination delivers copious amounts of capacity and a very wide useable load range while maintaining it's stable sure footed feel on the Holy Cow Canoe Algonquin Prospector Canoe water.  The solid, secure feeling, versatility, and efficient hull, have made our Algonquin Prospector series of canoes our most popular and requested line of canoes for over 30 years, and a must for you & your family.

Considered by many to be the most popular design of all time, the Original Prospector Canoes, built by the Chestnut Canoe Company, date years back to when the original fur traders still traveled great distances in order to deliver their wares to the Hudson's Bay Company.

14' Robin's Egg Blue
So legendary was this design that even today many canoe companies offer a Prospector model. This being said most all "Prospector" canoes will vary to a certain degree from the original and in-turn with each other as the function of certain elements of the original design continue to be a topic of debate and interpretation to this day. The one thing that is not debatable however was the overall intended purpose behind the Prospector design, which was for a versatile, stable canoe that was capable of handling large loads along with a variety of conditions.

Born in keeping with this spirit is the "Algonquin Prospector" canoe.   Whether solo, tandem, or loaded with the entire family, dog and gear. Our Algonquin Prospector series display outstanding behaviour, and the type of strong, calm confidence that only many years of history and tradition can provide.   Designed to be the ultimate canoe for versatility and safety, along with an ideal paddling craft for a wide range of skill levels.

The Algonquin Prospector provides exceptional performance particularly on lakes and in mild to moderate moving waters.  The Algonquin Prospector series is an ideal choice for novice paddlers & experienced trippers who are seeking a stable, safe, & solid paddling craft, that will also remain efficient and easy to paddle in a wide variety of applications and water conditions.
