Algonquin Outfitters - Oxtongue Lake

Had a really good weekend being equipped with everything required for it here. Staff was friendly and first night at the campsite there also comfortable and a good start. No issues with anything provided during the weekend, also food was tasty with big enough portion for everyone.

I used them for a canoeing trip recently and I have nothing to say but good things about them. A great team with all your outfitting needs. They are an easy button for my outfitting needs. Fantastic service with a great attitude and attention to detail. Highly recommend. I give them 6 stars out of 5.

Wonderful team! Very kind, helpful, and very efficient. Sarah in particular was great to reorganise our trip at the last minute, to fit perfectly our needs and likings.The first place we had booked was much too far (Brent), and in 10 minutes Sarah and her team managed to book another campground spot by the lake, much nearer, and great for our family, thus removing more than 6 hours unnecessary drive!We had a great stay at Canisbay Lake, and we could return our equipment in a different Algonquin Outfitters store on our way back to Montreal.We highly recommend Algonquin Outfitters, and we will certainly come back some time ; )Thanks!

So awesome!!! Can't wait to come back and can't wait to book a trip.. friendly helpful staff that turned around our horrible whitney trip. And they have an awesome shop dog!! So sweet.

We love doing business with Algonquin Outfitters! The quality of their rental fleet inspires confidence and makes a trip easy! Our canoe was waiting for us at our entry point after a quick pickup of paddles and pfd’s at the store. Staff are knowledgeable, always friendly and quick to help. We’ve been customers for over 30 years and will continue for as long as we can paddle and portage! Thanks for a helping with a great September experience!

We bought a canoe from them and the seat broke halfway through our first trip. When buying it we were told everything was is great working condition. I called the store and they said it is our responsibility to fix the canoe. We were completely mislead into thinking we were buying a quality boat. The rivits attaching the seat to the canoe completely snapped and are now stuck in the holes. It will not be a fix. We are very disappointed. Buyer beware!!!

So full disclosure, these folks were the only place open that had patch kits for air mattresses ( oh, yeah... Burst pad in the middle of the night. May have made contact with the hot tent stove...). This place has everything! Amazing store. If you are looking for outdoor rigging, this place has it! Great staff and very helpful! And they are open 7 days a week YEAR ROUND!!Go Gryphons!

Wonderful experience first of all. The customer service was excellent, explained everything in detail since we didnt have much product knowledge. Also the rep advised us about the canoe we should choose according to our needs. One of the best services with friendly environment.

Just returned from a weekend with 3 other first time backcountry campers. We opted for the Ultimate Canoe Trip Package and entire experience was exceptional from beginning to end. We arrived the night before our trip and stayed in the tent cabin accommodations. (we were glad we had brought our own toilet paper for the first night as there was none in the bathroom onsite) . Super impressed with the stores attention to distancing protocols and detail surrounding the safe pre-packing/ contactless distribution of equipment in covid times. We enjoyed their continental breakfast on the dock before getting our kit and a lesson surrounding our route/outfitting. We simply added our clothes and toiletries to the packs they gave us with sleeping bag, sack and pad, tents, tarp, saw, and pretty much everything else we needed including a loaded food barrel, cookware, dishware and more. We drove 20 minutes to our entry point where our canoes were waiting for us. A short paddle later we experienced our first portage which while challenging was obviously selected with care as managable for first timers. When we finally saw water, we were pleased to find our final destination close by and enjoyed sharing the lake with a pair of loons. We loved everything about our campsite and had sufficient privacy despite nearness to the portage route. We ate like royalty and were particularly excited about the steak, potatoes, mushrooms, and broccoli. A special thank you to Emily who did our onboarding for sending us out with such confidence. We will definitely be back!

We did a 3 day portage trip and got the deluxe package from Algonquin Outfitters last week for my friends bachelor party. They hooked us up with all the gear we needed, they provided all food and did a great job training us. For anyone looking to a portage trip for their first time, I would highly recommend using this company for your experience.
