Welcome to the Sawyer Paddles and Oars blog, where we share stories of conservation and celebration of life on the water.

Welcome to the Sawyer Paddles and Oars blog, where we share stories of adventure, innovation, and conservation from waterways worldwide.

Based in Southern Oregon, we’re an employee-owned manufacturing company with our retail store, Sawyer Station, in Gold Hill. Sawyer Station is your go-to source for river gear, whether paddling the Rogue River or gearing up for a cross-country expedition.

Since 1967, we’ve handcrafted high-performance paddles and oars from premium wood and composite materials. We collaborate with guides, outfitters, and ambassadors to refine our designs, ensuring the best tools for river runners. We proudly support various conservation efforts to preserve the resources and beauty of the wild places we work and play.

At our core, we’re dedicated to crafting world-class products that bring “The Feel of Water” to every stroke. Join us in building a legacy of quality, adventure, and environmental stewardship.
