Old Town Discovery 119 Canoe
Three-layer polyethylene that shrugs off rocks
Old Town's three-layer polyethylene hull delivers exceptional impact resistance and long-term reliability without the weight penalty of heavier builds. A shallow-arch hull with moderate rocker keeps the Discovery 119 nimble and forgiving on the water.
- Three-layer polyethylene for durability and impact resistance
- Shallow-arch hull with moderate rocker for stability and maneuvering
- Rotomolded in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime hull warranty
Compact solo footprint, surprising load capacity
At just 11 ft 9 in long and 32.5 in wide, the Discovery 119 is built to be a responsive one-person canoe. Despite the compact size it carries a 500 lb total capacity, leaving plenty of room for gear on day trips and overnight journeys.
- Solo configuration sized for one paddler
- 500 lb total weight capacity, 450 lb usable
- 11 ft 9 in length keeps it agile in narrow streams and tight turns
Comfortable to sit in, easy to carry
A durable nylon web seat keeps you comfortable through long sessions, while vinyl gunwales and ash thwarts add rigidity and classic canoe feel. The lightweight 50 lb design makes it simple to carry from car to put-in, even on rugged backcountry paths.
- Comfortable, durable nylon web seat
- Vinyl gunwales and ash thwarts for strength and trim
- 50 lb assembled weight with comfortable carry handles
One canoe for fishing, photography and exploration
The balanced hull glides efficiently while staying responsive, so it's equally at home on quiet ponds and moving rivers. Paddle it with a single-blade canoe paddle or a double-bladed kayak paddle to cover more water.
- Well suited to recreation, fishing and hunting
- Works with single-blade canoe or double-bladed kayak paddles
- Built for quiet tripping and river exploration

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.
