Welcome to Lost in the Woods Boatworks! Strap on your snowshoes and we'll give you a quick tour of the shop. We'll take some firewood with us. Yes, the shop's heated with wood -- and the occasional old Chris-Craft transom! It's a well insulated 24' x 48' plywood box-truss structure which gives us a clear span inside and plenty of room to swing boats. The large lump of snow to the left of the shop in the photo above is a 1939 Richardson lighthouse tender, built in Collingwood for service on Georgian Bay and now awaiting restoration.
In addition to building our famous Double-Paddle Canoes, we repair, restore, and refinish all types of wooden boats, and ship various odds and ends (canoes and such) to all points of the compass. The photo below, a spectacular aerial shot of the shop, gives a glimpse of the countless canoes and other interesting craft scattered among the trees. Click on the photo or follow this link for some more photos (150 k) of the shop and some recent canoe and runabout restorations. |

We're
located out in the woods of Carling Township, just north of Parry
Sound, Ontario. That puts us right in the middle of the beautiful
30,000 Islands, some of the best cruising and paddling waters
in the world!
