Rentals and Outfitting

While the Grand Marais area offers a number of excellent full-service outfitters for the BWCA, we specialize in helping people who need just a few items to rent – such as daytrippers, visitors to the area, and people looking to try out a new sport without committing to a bunch of expensive gear. Our rental gear goes hand-in-hand with our guided tours and retail offerings.
