None - please visit a nearby gas station before arriving :) However, I will have a washroom kit that includes toilet paper, a metal trowel, and hand sanitizer. Let me know if you have any questions about this!
Gibson's of Muskoka is the cheapest option in the area, but is a bit further north and out of the way.
There isn't a nearby parking lot, so please park on the gravel shoulders located before and after the guardrail. Please make sure that your car is not on the road. The spots are marked with a white X on the photo. .

Had a fantastic time on an ice climbing trip booked through Climb Onsight! The process was seamless and we saved so much time on researching guides.
The Muskoka Mountainworks guides are the best. They were patient with us newbies and made sure everyone had a nice balance of challenge and fun. The incredible location also made for an unforgettable day.
