Wenonah Canoe was founded by Mike Cichanowski, who started building canoes in Minnesota in the 1960s. What began as a small operation grew into a well-known canoe company focused on making lightweight, durable, and easy-to-paddle canoes. Today, Wenonah is based in Winona, Minnesota, where the company continues to build canoes for paddlers, racers, and outdoor enthusiasts. With decades of experience, Wenonah remains focused on quality craftsmanship and creating canoes made for everything from weekend trips to wilderness adventures.
