Review of The Portage Store

Went mid July to Algonquin for the first time and the staff here were amazing. They helped us feel confident in going and were kind enough to help us figure out the right gear... We brought a barrel but we were going to rent one instead because we didn't know if ours was good enough. The staff told us the rental wasn't needed and to use ours. We really appreciate the honest business, so we made sure to spend more than would have on the rental at the store! At the end of the trip (we left one day early), we went to return the canoe and we ended up being refunded the extra day we had prepaid... I never expected to get that money back so that was a nice surprise.. and of course back to the store we went! The store has a ton of variety for food and camp gear (if you forgot something...anything, they've got you covered). Shout to Connor who helped us with returning the canoe! He was very polite and welcoming. Can't wait to come back.
