About Hellman Canoes


Bob Hellman founded Hellman Canoes in 1992.

"Canoeing can be so many things. It can be a means of transportation to get you out into the very wild wilderness areas with no motors. Canoeing can be extremely tranquil, very soothing. Canoeing can be a tremendous wild adventure that gives an adrenaline rush like any other, especially in whitewater rapids. But my greatest love is to go on long expeditions into the wilderness, in the Arctic or the yukon and just enjoy nature in a fairly non-evasive way."
-Bob Hellman

CHOOSING A CANOE collen with canoe
When choosing a Canoe it is important to first define what your needs are. Here are some questions to help with your decision:
What types of rivers or lakes will I be travelling on? How many days in duration will my trips be?
Will I be doing any white water canoeing? What class (easy to very difficult) and how often? How many people will be in the canoe, and how heavy do I pack?
How much portaging will I be doing? How much initial stability do i want? For example, will I be doing a lot of fishing?
