A canoe outfitter on the water in Temagami offering canoe rentals, full trip outfitting, shuttles and route planning, with its own lakefront bar and restaurant. Trippers praise the expert local advice.
Temagami Outfitting Company sits right off the highway on the water in Temagami, and it's both an outfitter and a place to eat. The lakefront patio restaurant and bar get their own fans, with brisket and jalapeño poppers singled out, and one tripper enjoyed a house ale after coming off the water.
The outfitting is what most reviewers came for. The owner is praised for deep knowledge of the region and careful planning help, from packing lists to route choices. One group had their route adjusted using satellite imagery to check ice, and another learned about access points they hadn't known existed. Canoes are well cared for with repairs done on site, the PFDs are new, and a spare paddle is included.
First-time canoe campers do well here. One family arrived with only clothes and toiletries and found route, gear and food ready, plus tips on campsites; a staff member even lent their son a fishing rod. Shuttles run smoothly, staff help load canoes, and guided trips are available. One reviewer credits a guide with putting them onto a lot of fish.
Complaints are few, and none recur. As with any remote outfitter, book early and use the planning calls to match the route to your group.
