Merrimack Canoe Company

The Merrimack Canoe Company is a maker of handcrafted canoes in Crossville, Tennessee. The family business was started in Merrimack, New Hampshire in 1954.

Merrimack is one of a dwindling numbers of handmade canoe manufacturers in the United States. Styles of canoe produced by Merrimack have included Ospreys, Souhegans Prospectors, Baboosics, Travelers and Tennesseans. The company is known for its "brightly hued boats" that have been acclaimed as classics.

In 2011 Merrimack canoes were noted in the 2011 issue of Forbes (magazine)'s winter "Life" issue and Town & Country (magazine)'s December issue. The company was also identified in Garden & Gun magazine as a "runner up for the best built product in the South". The workmanship was described as "a balance between technology and tradition" and uses a reinforced carbon-fiber, Kevlar, and fiberglass hull with wooden ribs made from Tennessee cherry trees. The seats are hand-laced and brass hardware is used, resulting in a "beautiful yet durable boat."
