Sanborn Canoe Company - Artisan Painted Paddle - Cannon
The Cannon River begins among gently rolling hills on the edge of the Great Plains. Flowing unhurriedly past quiet river towns before dropping into a 300 foot deep canyon and emptying itself into the Mississippi. Connecting vastly diverse landscapes and the people who call each home, it drew the tribes of the Mississippi River valley upward with an appetite for bison and the incredible vision of sky and prairie without end. Likewise, it carried the tribes of the Great Plains down into the river valley in search of fish and grain and to feed that insatiable need to know where the river might lead.
When French traders arrived by canoe in the 17th century, they dubbed this waterway La Riviere aux Canots, or The River of Canoes, for the way canoes were piled up on the shoreline where diverse peoples gathered around campfires to swap stories and share a meal.
This design is painted on our Voyageur Heritage Paddle. With an elegantly traditional blade shape these are graceful in and out of the water. They’re perfect for lazy turns around the lake or for gracing the wall of your cabin. Each is a laminated combination of western red cedar, aspen and black walnut.
