Customer Reviews
If you like canoeing or backcountry camping, this is where to start. You can rent canoe, carry your stuff and go you your campsite across. Parking is not easy, but you will find it, just have some patience. Permits can be purchased from the Canoe Lake Hut. You can also buy some food from the cafeteria and relax a little near the beautiful lake. Waves are choppy at times but manageable.
Have been there twice and did rented canoe both the times. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Follow what they say and you will be in no trouble. Rentals are fairly priced. You can rent for entire day. Park at beach nearby the docking platform, move around, come back and enjoy. Picnic area is also nice with benches with lake view.
This is my 6th time renting from Canoe Lake and this most recent experience was the best possible one so far. Online orders are simple and straightforward. On-Site they have created a single line for rentals which made everything much faster. The young summer staff was keen to help me get organized with my group and all the equipment was in excellent working condition. I would recommend that if customers are returning their equipment to the beach, that a trailer is provided to shuttle boats back to your facility once full to avoid the walking/carrying. That would be a nice helpful touch after returning from a trip. See you next summer!
