Northstar Canoes in Princeton, Minnesota produces some of the finest high quality canoes in the world. Join me as I take a tour and see just how these beautiful boats are made!
Picked up our New Northwind 16 a few weeks ago. Paddled it 2 hrs after picking it up. 1st impression can be summarized in one word. AMAZING. Tracks like nothing we have ever paddles before. Thanks for sharing this video. I appreciate the boat even more after seeing it.
@@JTMinnesota just watched a 2 yr old U tube with Shawn James talking bout his canoe he got from these ppl. Shawn is building his off grid cabin. In beautiful country. Get to see him build . Plus go canoeing fishing. Portaging to different lakes. Reminds me of living in Ely as a kid. Going through Fall Lake. Through 3 portage's to get to Basswood. Long before the bwca . . I live up by Alexandria. Thought how cool. Made in Princeton. So I came to see. Thank you
I have neither the time nor the spare funds for a Northstar canoe. But when both of those change, I am definitely picking one up. Bear Paulsen was so accommodating and friendly, and they are absolutely serious about making a quality boat.
Was up in the BWCA this last weekend. Used a Northstar Solo and was amazed at the build quality. Seeing this video sealed the deal. Do you allow the public to come to your facility and purchase. I am not far from Princeton.
Can you ship to Palo Alto, CA? Doesn’t seem to be any in stock in California Any dealers in the state I’m not aware of? Interested in solo Magic or similar for lakes in the Sierra Nevada

Thanks for showing this! Awesome to see how it is done. I'm a happy Northwind Solo owner from Finland :)
That is great! Are you able to get out on the water often?
Beautiful canoes.
I agree!
Great insights to the company!
+jckofalltrades1515 Thanks. I was very fortunate to get a tour.
Oh Wow!
Wow, indeed. I was very fortunate to get a tour of the facility!
I have a Bell Chestnut Prospector and love it, but am thinking about a Northstar :)

Kudos for hand built canoes in 2020. But I’m a sucker for the original Bell logo and
pine for a NOS magic
Dude bagged that canoe like 2 g’s of dank
