Hunting & Shooting · Fishing · Ontario
A hunting and fishing outfitter in North Nipissing, Ontario offering bear hunts and guided ice fishing, with some happy hunters but also detailed complaints about basic lodging and equipment.
North River Outfitters is based in the Unorganized North Nipissing area and offers bear hunting and ice fishing trips, and Google also lists it as a hunting and fishing store. Its rating is mixed: most reviews are five stars, but a notable share are one star.
Satisfied hunters describe a knowledgeable outfitter who taught them a lot on bear hunts, and one said the accommodation and hunting were both great. Another customer praised a camouflage shirt they'd bought, and one reviewer thanked the business for helping them and their dog in a serious situation.
The negative reviews are specific. One hunter described the lodging as a worn camper with poor heating, limited power and no shower access. An ice fishing group from a February trip said access on the ice was poor, bait was rationed, shelters weren't secured and equipment was below standard, although they found the guides friendly.
Ask plenty of questions before booking: exactly what the accommodation is, what gear and bait are supplied, and what happens if ice conditions are poor.
