If you've ever spent any time on the water in Maine then Old Town Canoe Company is a name you're likely familiar with. Known around the world for their top-notch canoes and kayaks, you'd be hard-pressed to enter any Maine town and not find one of their watercrafts sitting stream-side, or strapped to the top of a Subaru.
