Focusing largely on the Adirondack Guideboat and branching outwards, Atkinson ADK Craft is dedicated to bringing light to time-honed construction methods.
Our efforts aim to breathe new life and interest into the creation of enduring objects, while considering the knowledge and insights passed down through generations of previous makers.
Atkinson Adirondack Craft is owned and operated by Nathaniel Atkinson; sculptor, outdoor educator, and Adirondack historian.
As a professional guideboat builder and the resident boatbuilder for the Adirondack museum, Nathaniel uses his experiences in fine arts and his time in the Adirondack region to shape and guide his work here at Atkinson ADK Craft.
A thorough restoration of a 16' Costal Peapod originally built by Old Town Canoe. Back in late August I wrapped up my season as the Trek and Program Director at Sabattis Scout Reservation, the summer camp I have been involved with for 12 years and what I can attribute much of my love of waterways and boating to.
