In the heart of Algonquin Park.

The Portage Store as seen from across Canoe Lake.

The Portage Store has been outfitting Algonquin Canoeists since 1937. Located on Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park, the store serves as the gateway to the Algonquin interior. We can offer you as little or as much as you need to make your Adventure of a Lifetime safe, and fun. Our staff are friendly, knowledgeable and experienced and will gladly provide you advice and waterfront instructions. The Portage Store offers a wide range of outfitting packages and rental options, including canoes, kayaks, camping equipment and food packs. Shelves are well stocked with appetizing, convenient foods that comply with Algonquin Park's ban on cans and bottles, as well as a full range of camping and fishing supplies.
