Ottawa Valley paddle shop renting and repairing canoes and kayaks near backcountry routes

Ottawa Valley Canoe and Kayak
01 — About

The brief.

Ottawa Valley Canoe and Kayak is a paddle shop on Highway 17 in the Ottawa River Valley, positioned near local rivers and backcountry camping routes. The shop sells canoes and kayaks, rents paddlecraft and gear through a FareHarbor booking system, and runs a demo program letting buyers pick up a boat to test on their own water before purchasing, including arranged overnight and multi-day trials. Rentals are scaled from a single day-paddle on a local river, to a canoe for a family camping trip, to a full backcountry expedition outfit. The team also repairs, restores, and retrims fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon fibre, plastic, and Royalex hulls, and provides written estimates with photos for insurance claims.
