The Wilderness Guide has been proving itself as the perfect expedition canoe for about a century. The graceful deck line makes it instantly recognizable as an E.M. White design. It has beautiful, classic lines, a slightly curved bottom and a moderate rocker. It is a canoe with little draft and a relatively wide, flat bottom that can be easily loaded. Even when loaded, it glides through shallow water unscathed.

The Wilderness Guide is a canoe for long trips on big rivers and lakes. With a loading capacity of 550 kg, it is a real freighter and yet it remains very easy to handle. Due to its length it is also very stable and two paddlers with a good paddling technique can propel it through the water like an arrow. It’s that superiority that has been prized for generations by guides, campers, hunters and fishermen on Maine’s rivers.
