Redtail White Ash Ottertail Canoe Paddle

Built for deep water and long days on the lake, this white ash ottertail is the kind of canoe paddle that serious paddlers keep coming back to.

The ottertail blade shape is all about efficiency. Its long, tapered profile slips cleanly into the water and pulls through with minimal turbulence, making it a natural choice for open flatwater where a smooth, low-angle forward stroke covers distance without burning you out. White ash brings real substance to that equation. It's one of the more impact-resistant hardwoods used in paddle making, and its natural flex gives the blade a responsive, almost springy feel through the stroke that paddlers who've used stiffer materials tend to notice immediately.

Ash is also a beautiful wood in its own right. The pale, light colouring and tight dramatic grain set it apart from darker hardwoods and finish exceptionally well. This paddle is exclusive to Frontenac Outfitters, engraved with our logo and hand-shaped by Redtail Paddle Co. in Millbrook, Ontario, where they've been crafting quality canoe paddles since 1992.
