Located at 11 Lakeshore Drive right on the waterfront, the Temagami Outfitting Company is a premier gateway for exploring the beautiful, rugged wilderness of Temagami, Ontario. Operating on the local waterfront in various forms since 1926, the business holds deep historical roots in the region. It was originally founded by Arthur Stevens, the local Justice of the Peace who famously issued a marriage license to the renowned conservationist Grey Owl in 1910.
Today, the outfitter provides absolutely everything you need for a successful and safe paddling adventure. Whether you are a total beginner taking your family on a first camping trip or a highly experienced outdoor enthusiast, the company offers top-notch services. These include complete and partial gear outfitting, lightweight canoe rentals, sea kayak rentals, and detailed trip planning. They also lead fully provisioned, all-inclusive guided tours, ranging from peaceful flatwater journeys to exciting whitewater river runs.
One of the biggest advantages of this specific location is its incredible convenience. Situated directly in the village of Temagami, it serves as a strategic, central hub between the area's four most popular water access points: the Temagami waterfront, Sandy Inlet, Mine Road, and Mowat's Landing. To make trip logistics much easier, they offer a very popular vehicle shuttle service to move your car while you paddle.
Beyond outdoor gear, the main base is a welcoming destination itself. The location features an on-site espresso bar, a pub, and a cozy bed and breakfast. Staying here is incredibly handy for travelers who need to catch early-morning floatplane flights at the bush-plane base right next door. Additionally, the shop is within easy walking distance of local restaurants, grocery stores, and the train station, making it perfectly accessible for international guests or anyone arriving without a car.
With excellent equipment, friendly expert knowledge, and a prime lakeside spot, Temagami Outfitting Company ensures your wilderness journey is smooth from start to finish.
