The Esquif Huron 17 canoe is a lightweight, durable, and versatile 17-foot canoe built for families and wilderness paddlers who want efficiency without excess bulk. Based on the proven Prospecteur hull but with a lower, shallower profile, the Huron 17 delivers the confidence and stability of a classic tripping design in a lighter, easier-to-handle package. That reduced profile improves tracking and control in windy conditions and makes portaging and car-topping noticeably easier at the end of a long day on the water.

Built from tough T-Formex Lite, the Esquif Huron 17 is designed to hold its shape and withstand years of real-world use. It offers plenty of space for day trips, family outings, or lighter tripping loads, without feeling oversized or cumbersome. Whether you’re crossing backcountry lakes or following winding rivers, this 17-foot canoe balances speed, stability, and durability with everyday practicality.

Available at Wilderness Supply in Winnipeg and Thunder Bay, the Esquif Huron 17 is an ideal choice for Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario paddlers looking for a reliable, easy-to-manage canoe that’s ready for years of adventure.
