I would like to park my vehicle at Canoe Lake or Lake Opeongo access points, and be picked up by a shuttle and dropped off at Tim River or Kiosk (1 adult, 1 pack, 1 canoe). Does anyone know of any companies offering this type of shuttle for 2025? 

I have searched the websites of various outfitters, but I don't see this exact service listed.

Take everything as it comes; the wave passes, deal with the next one.

Thank you - but as I previously indicated, I reviewed all of the Outfitters' websites, including the link above. You will note that what they offer on the website is not the service I am interested in. The service provided in your link is to have someone move your vehicle to your end point destination. I simply want a shuttle vehicle to pick me up at Canoe Lake or Lake Opeongo, and drop me off at another access point.

I had trouble finding that exact service. One time I did get a custom shuttle with Algonquin Bound from Wendigo to McManus. They were willing to do it with my vehicle. I stopped at Algonquin Bound to pick up a driver. Drove to the access point in our vehicle. They took our car back to their facility for the duration of the trip. Dropped it at our take out point the day before we planned to arrive. 

I know this wasn't what you asked but the point is they wouldn't do it with their vehicles, but would if all they had to provide was a driver for my vehicle. Still not cheap. Best to find a local you trust.

Thank you, everyone. 

I received an email back from one of the local Outfitters and they quoted me prices from Opeongo to Tim River, and from Canoe to Rain. As Martin pointed out, it is not cheap.

Jeff was kind enough to email me the contact number for the Hurleys. I will call this week and see if I can arrange something.

I'm starting to think that this could be a decent retirement gig for somebody. Surely a well-run, semi-regular scheduled shuttle service could be profitable.

I've thought of this many times.

I believe the issue is a company driving a client passenger fits different for insurance (like an uber).
