Wooden canoes catch your attention as they pass by and force you to slow down and stop, to take in the details of their beauty.

When many of us are living with a lot of daily stress, it's more important than ever to try to find time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life… American Traders' canoes are the perfect escape, what could be better than spending a few hours unwinding on the water. As beautiful as they are, all of our canoes are intended for use in the water.

The Sliver is a unique blend of speed and responsiveness coupled with a lightweight design for ease of portage. The Sliver maneuvers easily and cuts through the water like an arrow. A long established favorite of the discriminating intermediate and experienced canoeist, the solo version of this popular canoe is the perfect solo tripping canoe.
