Overview:
	Canoe Country Outfitters, founded by Bill and Barbara Rom in 1946, is one of the largest and most successful outfitters in the North Country. You will be fascinated by its smooth operation as you deal with friendly, competent, and experienced personnel who are well-versed in the ways of the canoe country and its trip routes. As a full-service outfitter we are dedicated to providing personal service and the very best in food supplies, canoes, and camping equipment rentals. Providing camping and fishing trips is our only business so our entire attention is directed towards assuring you a safe, exciting, and memorable time. Canoe Country Outfitters is conveniently located in downtown Ely, plus we maintain a private canoe base on Moose Lake (20 miles east of Ely). From these two locations we are able to quickly service all area trip starting points. We have outfitted more people and have been under the same family management longer than any other outfitter, so no one can match our experience and knowledge of the area. We will help you plan a route that best suits your needs, whether it be one requiring travel each day or a relaxing base camp arrangement reachable in 1-2 days. Orientation also includes instructions on use of our equipment, fishing and camping techniques, safety, and more.
