For generations, Algonquin Outfitters has been helping people discover the outdoors and make the most of every season. With a long-standing presence in the Haliburton Highlands, AO is a place where outdoor knowledge, adventure, and community come together.

At the heart of Algonquin Outfitters is a simple mission: to promote the enjoyment of the outdoors and deliver value through quality equipment, expert advice, and a shared enthusiasm for outdoor adventure.

The Haliburton location helps people get outside in every season—from paddling, camping, hiking, and cycling to skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. More than simply providing gear, the team shares local knowledge and experience to help customers find the equipment and confidence they need for their next adventure.

But AO’s connection to the community goes beyond the store. Algonquin Outfitters has a long history of supporting local events, athletes, organizations, outdoor recreation, health and wellness initiatives, arts and culture, and community programs throughout Hastings County, Haliburton, Muskoka, and Algonquin Park. It’s about encouraging people to get outside, supporting the places we call home, and helping create experiences that bring people together.

As the Bancroft screening of the 2026 Padding Film Festival approaches, we are grateful to AO for donating some amazing raffle prizes for our participants! Book your tickets today for a chance to win a pair of rental for nordic skis, paddling day passes, and a beautiful cherry wood Red Tail paddle, all generously donated by our friends at Algonquin Outfitters.
