Welcome! Bass Lake Paddle Company is located in Ely, MN, Canoe Capital of the world. All of our paddles are built on the doorstep to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Whether your idea of adventure is a day at the beach with the kids, a ten day journey across the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, or 16 hours on the AuSable River in Michigan we’re prepared to go along with you on your journey. 

Here at Bass Lake Paddle Company we believe in creating paddles that will serve as tools on your adventures for years to come. All of our paddles are built with a keen attention to detail, selecting individual pieces of wood that complement the overall look, but never sacrificing function. Take a look around to see our work in progress and finished products that have shipped around the world. If you don’t see what you’re looking for in our store drop us a line to get started creating your own custom paddle.

While we occasionally have extra paddles in stock that are available for sale we specialize in custom builds. If you want a one of a kind paddle that you’ll never see anywhere else this is the place for you. Reach out to start a conversation about what you want to see in a paddle and we can discuss ideas.
