About Kananaskis Outfitters
Kananaskis Outfitters is the premier equipment rental and tour operator in Kananaskis Village, serving as the one-stop outdoor shop for visitors exploring Kananaskis Country and the greater Canmore-Banff corridor. Located at the Kananaskis Village Centre about 45 minutes from Canmore, they stock a comprehensive range of summer and winter gear that covers virtually every mountain activity.
Summer brings mountain bikes, e-bikes, stand-up paddleboards, canoes, kayaks, and fishing gear for rent, with a dedicated lakeside location at Barrier Lake for on-water rentals. Their Big Canoe Tour is a popular guided option for groups wanting a social paddle. In winter, the inventory switches to Nordic skis, snowshoes, fat bikes, and ice skates, all maintained to high standards and sized to fit the whole family. Guided tours and lessons are available across seasons for guests who want expert instruction alongside their rental.
What makes Kananaskis Outfitters the go-to choice is their location right at the gateway to Kananaskis Country's trail network, lakes, and ski areas, combined with staff who live and play in these mountains year-round. They can point you to the best trails, the quietest lakes, and the right gear setup for conditions that day — local knowledge that turns a good day in the mountains into a great one.
