“MURTLE CANOE RENTALS MAKE IT EASIER”

Canoe Cart

Gear carts are included in every rental!

Don’t want to deal with the hassle of bringing your own canoe? Murtle Lake Canoe Rentals is the solution. Book your canoe (or kayak) in advance and enjoy your vacation instead of worrying about logistics of hauling your own canoe.  All rentals include the use of a gear cart or wagon to transport your gear from the parking lot to the lagoon where your canoe will be waiting.
No more roof racks or canoe carts!

Booking a rental is easy.  Either send us an email, or use our contact form to indicate when you would like to reserve your canoe(s) or kayak(s).  Your inquiry will be promptly followed up by our friendly staff so you can confirm your reservation details with an actual person! Payments are made via Paypal for your convenience and security.

How to find us:

Murtle Lake is accessed by travelling highway 5 to Blue River and then following a twisting, rough gravel road 27 km to the portage parking lot. This is where you leave your vehicle, and transfer your gear down a “wheelchair accessible” 2.5 km trail to the lagoon launch, WHERE YOU PAY YOUR CAMPING FEES at the self registration station.
