Amenities
Embrace new experiences in our new state-of-the-art Museum on the shores of Little Lake.
Whether you are exploring incredible stories through the canoes in our Exhibition Hall, getting your hands dirty at the Campfire Pit or in the Artisan Studio, enjoying Little Lake from a canoe, or building a connection at the Gathering Circle or the Silver Bean Café, you are bound to make memories and learn something new with every visit!
For more than 25 years, The Canadian Canoe Museum has stewarded the world’s largest and most significant collection of canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft. More than 600 in number, the watercraft and their stories have a pivotal role to play in understanding our past and our collective future. As part of our responsibility for this one-of-a-kind collection, we have built it a new home along the water’s edge.
Named one of the Best Cultural Spots on National Geographic’s Best of the World 2024, the brand’s annual guide of the most exciting, meaningful, and one-of-a-kind travel experiences for 2024!
