Owned and operated by Danny Brown, Whiskeyjack Paddles is located on the shores of Lake Superior, in Duluth, Minnesota. We are very fortunate to be living and working in the heart of canoe country and the gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Its an amazing way of life and I am enormously proud to offer our fine selection of handcrafted, wooden kayak and canoe paddles.

I've been an avid woodworker and avid paddler for many years and several years ago decided to combine my two passions (kinda like chocolate and peanut butter.) I began making these paddles exclusively for friends and family as gifts to commemorate special paddling trips. I worked for many years as a graphic artist and this artistry is reflected in the beauty and elegance of our paddles.

Through word of mouth, demand for our canoe paddles began to grow and eventually Whiskeyjack Paddles was born.

This year I am thrilled to have my kayak and canoe paddles available through a select list of exclusive vendors. Its an exciting new opportunity that will free up my time and allow me to spend more time in the canoe.

Our cabin on Hungry Jack Lake

On a personal note, me and my family (my wife Barbara and daughter Josephine) spend our summers at our cabin on Hungry Jack Lake. Hungry Jack is located about half way up the Gunflint Trail on the edge of the Boundary Waters.

Our beloved cabin makes for a great base camp for the many canoe trips we take each year. From our dock we are able to paddle directly into the BWCA from several different entry points. We also get up to the cabin quite a bit in the winter to x-country ski and snowshoe (our other passions.)

My wife Barbara is also an artisan. She is a master printmaker specializing in linoleum and wood cut prints. You can view her work at whiskeyjackstudios.com. If you are in Duluth, her work can be found at Blue Lake Gallery on Canal Park in downtown Duluth.

Our daughter Josephine is 5 years old and just started kindergarten. She's a rugged little squirt and has already spent more time in a canoe than most people will in a lifetime...
