Thank you for your interest in Lincoln Canoes and Kayaks.  Lincoln Canoe and Kayak had it's humble beginnings in Lincoln, Massachusetts in 1959.  It was started by two young college students who had spent a summer in northern Canada on a wilderness canoe trip.  Their craft was an 80-pound, 18-foot aluminum canoe, which was state-of-the-art at the time.  As they paddled and trudged along, they thought among themselves, that there must be a better way to build a canoe, one that would be lighter and easier to handle.  Upon returning home, they decided to tackle their idea. 

Fiberglass was the new material on the scene and the method of choice, thus the Lincoln canoe was born!  Through the years, Lincoln has led the way in using the latest technologies and materials to create some of the finest small craft made today.  Our criteria are to simply build the most technically advanced product, while employing the longstanding techniques of craftsmanship and quality traditionally characterized by New England artisans.  Starting with our employees, we seek only those who have a love for craftsmanship and an eye for detail. 

It is our hope that you will select one of our canoes or kayaks.  If you do, we know that you will enjoy many years of paddling pleasure.
