This rental allows paddlers to pick up their kayak or stand-up paddleboard directly at the Algonquin Outfitters store near Opeongo Lake, the park’s largest and most renowned body of water. Opeongo’s vast, clear waters and numerous campsites make it a favorite base for those seeking serene solitude or challenging routes.

The rental’s six-day length offers the flexibility to explore at a steady pace, covering multiple lakes, hidden coves, and river access points linked to the park’s extensive waterways. The environmental backdrop of ancient granite rock outcroppings, mixed hardwood forests, and sightings of iconic wildlife such as moose and loons creates an experiential journey through one of Canada’s most significant conservation areas.

While your personal flotation device is required by law and not included, it’s easily added during check-out, ensuring safety remains paramount.
