The Story
As a Cub Scout, Dwain Forrest was introduced to canoeing—and it was love at first float. Building a cedar strip with his Scout troop at age 14 further cemented that relationship. Today with the capable assistance of wife, Sherri, Dwain owns and operates Timber’s Outfitters—supplier of everything needed for successful outward-bound trips.
From canoes and kayaks to tents and campstoves, Timber’s carries a complete line of equipment and supplies. Whether you’re camping or paddling—or both—Dwain’s store has it all, including rental of canoes and kayaks. And his major suppliers and manufacturers are quality Canadian companies.
Floating along a river or stream gets you up close and personal with flora and fauna—ducks, geese, muskrat, beaver and deer share space with you. Foliage flourishes and flowers along a quiet waterway. If you travel it often enough, you could see nesting waterfowl become families with fluffy babies trying the water for the first time. And on that winter day when you’d like to try something different, at Timber’s you could rent or purchase snowshoes for a winter wonderland hike.
Brussels beautiful millpond at Logan’s Mill, within the Maitland Valley Conservation area, is the location of special summer events staged by Timber’s Outfitters. Their Water Days offer the chance to try kayaking in a secure and fun setting. Dwain brings the kayaks and two safety boats—instruction is two on one, ensuring an “in dry” and “out dry” experience. Wet clothes aren’t part of Water Days. Check out Timber’s website for dates and times. www.timbersoutfitters.com or visit www.shopseaforth.ca Timber's Outfitters is No. 214 on Directory/Map.
