Big Bay Outfitters, formally known as North Country Outfitters, has been owned and operated by Kristi Mills and Bill Kinjorski since 2002. This old landmark was once a fully operating jail, township hall and fire department. Presently it is 2500 square-feet of retail space offering outdoor adventure gear, functional outdoor clothing, "Big Bay" clothing and hats, fishing tackle and lively bait, gifts and local art, maps, and local directions. Also home of "Anatomy of a Canoe," - a full-service paddle sport shop offering a complete line of canoes, kayaks and accessories.

It sounds like a lot going on and there's more!   We rent fishing boats, pontoon, canoe, and kayak as well as area tour and guide service. Stop in and find out what's going on in Big Bay. We have the latest weather and road conditions, Lake Independence fishing and Lake Superior marine reports as well as a few tall tales about the area and it's history.

Big Bay is at the end of the road County Road 550 and the gateway into the Huron Mountains. Visit waterfalls and mountaintops, sparkling rivers and wildlife.

We have it all right here, year round. Head North!
