Description
The Minnesota II is in a class of its own—the most efficient, straight-tracking tandem tripping canoe ever made. Whether paddling in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area or Canada’s Quetico Park, this canoe is a common favorite. Fast and seaworthy even when loaded with gear, it remains fun and responsive when lightly loaded. Its long waterline provides unmatched glide and speed, while the straight-tracking hull keeps your canoe pointed toward your destination with ease.
Perfect for flatwater paddling or ambitious wilderness expeditions, the Minnesota II is a favorite among Wenonah staff for casual paddles and serious trips alike. It revolutionized portaging and long-distance paddling in the Boundary Waters and beyond.
