 New store for 2012

We are hoping to move our store this season to better serve you. Our new store will now offer a lodge at the same location. We will have sleeping accomodations for groups of up to 10, with lots of parking and loading/ unloading area, and still just steps away from the water for those who would like to go for a paddle! Our new location is conveniently located directly across from the permit office in Kearney and just steps to the beach, and the new pub in town. We are hoping to have the store open for July- feel free to drop in for a coffee and tour of our new basecamp! As for now we are located at the waterfront in Kearney at 80 Main beside the LCBO. We will be open regular hours starting May 3- check out our hours below.
