Purchased by C. Robert (Bob) Binger of White Bear Lake in the 1970s, this canoe sat unused until the mid 1990s when Bob donated it to Camp Widjiwagan. Used by campers for a number of years, the canoe was offered back to the Binger family following Bob's death in 2016.
Bob's son Bruce had the canoe completely restored in 2017 by Alex Combs of Knife River, a renowned restorer and builder of custom canoes. Bruce paddled down the St. Croix for its post-restoration maiden voyage and can testify to its great handling.
In memory of his father's lifelong dedication to conservation and his own commitment to preserve the St. Croix, Bruce has donated this restored gem as an auction item to support the SCRA mission. The canoe can be delivered upon request.
Donated By Bruce Binger and Rebecca Rand
