The Canadian Canoe Museum

The Canadian Canoe Museum stewards the world's largest collection of canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft. More than 600 in number, the watercraft and their stories of national and international significance, have a pivotal role to play in our collective future.

Love this museum, the historic kayaks and canoes from across the North and across the indigenous tribes, plus the history of exploration of Canada. Beautiful recreational canoes and the volunteers can tell you fascinating stories of how the museum was given some of their artifacts. This museum is unique and well worth a visit!

If you haven't been to this place yet, you need to go! That is if you love Native art in all it's glory ???? I love stopping here when my husband and friends are out on our motorcycles. They have jewelry, clothes, paintings, figures, sculptures - so many cool things to see and purchase. They also have a little restaurant if you're hungry and washrooms (which are great if you've been travelling for awhile). There is lots of parking available and they are across from Burleigh Falls which is a great place to visit as well. They fully accessible too.
