What visitors say
Liv Outside is an outdoor sports store in Bracebridge with rentals launching right beside the Muskoka River. Paddlers describe a peaceful, scenic route along the river, and some head west toward Lake Muskoka. The shop also sells and rents bikes, including e-bikes and mountain bikes.
Most reviewers praise the staff. First-timers say the team is patient, explains the basics and sets up the kayaks at the water's edge, and repeat renters mention being able to book online and be on the water within minutes. Gear is described as in excellent condition, with options such as an inflatable racing paddleboard on request. Rental prices are called reasonable.
Cyclists are happy too. E-bike renters found the batteries held their charge for a long ride, and the owner has driven a mountain biker and their bike to a nearby trail park and shown them around. Buyers of e-bikes report knowledgeable advice and careful set-up and delivery.
