Wenonah Minnesota II Performance Touring Canoe
The Wenonah Minnesota II stands in a class of its own as the most efficient, straight-tracking tandem tripping canoe ever made. Built for serious distance paddlers and wilderness expeditioners, the Minnesota II rewards skilled paddlers with unmatched glide and speed thanks to its long waterline and razor-straight-tracking hull — making it effortless to keep pointed toward your destination across open water.
Whether loaded down for a multi-week Boundary Waters or Quetico expedition or lightly loaded for a fast after-work paddle, the Minnesota II is equally at home and equally impressive. If you're looking for a canoe that delivers pure joy on flatwater while remaining fully capable of tackling ambitious wilderness travel, the Minnesota II is the definitive choice — the canoe that revolutionized portaging and long-distance paddling in the Boundary Waters and beyond.
The Wenonah Minnesota II UltraLight w/Aramid is engineered for paddlers who demand the lightest, stiffest hull available without sacrificing durability or performance. Built with a structural-foam core and rib system laminated into the hull, reinforced fabric layers in high-stress areas, and strategically placed aluminum mounting plates — with seats, footbraces, and all hardware riveted cleanly from the inside for a smooth, snag-free exterior. At the core of this construction is Aramid fiber, the same material trusted in aerospace applications and body armor, delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that makes long portages and extended expeditions dramatically more manageable. Wenonah has been crafting Aramid canoes for over 30 years and remains the world's largest manufacturer of Aramid canoes, making the Minnesota II UltraLight the ultimate tool for serious boundary waters trippers and long-distance paddlers.
