What's New at Gull Lake
Camp Sales & Support
Founded by Marc Russell in 2008, Gull Lake Boat Works custom-builds wooden canoes, kayaks, and paddles for discerning enthusiasts.
After an intensive apprenticeship with retired master builder Ron Frenette of Canadian Canoes, Russell was tasked with restoring and replacing Kilcoo Camp’s aging fleet of antique cedar plank and canvas canoes with their modern equivalent – the Kilcoo 15.7’ canoe. Gull Lake Boat Works, named for the lake
on which Kilcoo lays, was created to facilitate and support this endeavour.
Today, Marc and GLBW are recognized for wedding traditional design and methods, to modern composites and aesthetics, finished with meticulous attention to detail.
