About Green Adventures
Scott’s passion for outdoor adventure started from his family’s regular boating and fishing trips on Lake of the Woods. He took his own path after high school, traveling solo on a tour of Europe, working in a variety of jobs and learning a lot about himself and the world along the way. Scott came to realize that he is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He started Green Adventures in 1999, which at that time was mainly a guiding service. He then went to Lakehead University and got his degrees in Outdoor Recreation, Geography and Education, while operating his business in the summers.
After graduating and coming back to Kenora, Scott was a teacher for a few years but ultimately felt a drive to return to his entrepreneurial nature. He made the leap and gave up teaching to focus solely on Green Adventures.
“If I were an animal, I would be a moose, because they are somewhat clumsy, I am at home in the water, I’m stubborn and I’m big.” – Scott Green
Leah originated in the town of Renfrew in the beautiful Ottawa Valley. She’s a hick from the sticks who grew up skiing and snowboarding at Calabogie Peaks, sliding on any hill available, skating, swimming and canoeing in the Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers, and taking family camping trips to Algonquin Park. In high school she participated in a variety of sports and followed her cousin/partner in crime into the sport of wrestling which resulted in her heading North to Thunder Bay, to attend Lakehead University.
At University Leah studied Psychology and traveled this great country attending wrestling tournaments on weekends. It was in Thunder Bay where Leah crossed paths with Scott Green, the smooth-talking Outdoor Recreation, who took her on tours of his Northern Ontario world and wooed her with rock climbing, kayaking, fishing and hiking. Scott successfully “set the hook” by inviting her to come live in Kenora, and the rest is history. Leah is now Leah Green, with three Green babies on a lifelong green adventure.

β β β β β One of the two places we were able to find in Kenora that offered canoe rentals. The other place didn't pick up the phone so at least Green Adventures responds (though it may take long by email).
Unfortunately though, we never got to rent a canoe. We had called in advance and was told that there were a lot of canoes left to rent. Asked them if we should make a reservation and they told us that it was fine and we didn't have to. We got there 30 minutes later and was told that we came at a busy time and they were almost out of rentals. After that, although we waited at the store for further information, we were not acknowledged or informed of what was available or not available until we asked ourselves. There were a couple other groups there at the time so it was understandable that we would have to wait, but it would have been proper customer service to give us some information while we were waiting.

β β β β β The guy (owner I think?) was super friendly and fair. Check in was easy AND he didn't nitpick about the time. We went over our time by about 5 minutes and it wasn't a big deal. He told us exactly how to get to nice little beach to hang out and the paddleboard we rented was good quality.

β β β β β My 3.7 year old boy and I rented a canoe to spot for my wife who was trying a Stand Up Paddleboard for the first time. I was impressed, she stayed dry the whole time and stood up at least 8 times for varying lengths of time, mostly short ones.
The person who met us was very helpful and knowledgeable. We were provided with all the equipment we needed, including a little paddle for my son, who did a great job trying to paddle!
For $30 for a 2 hour rental, this was excellent value. I did not have to haul equipment anywhere. I just had to go the their office on Laurenson's creek for what was a truly Green Adventure. The creek is worth exploring more than once. Lots of birds to observe. I thought about buying a paddleboard but at this price, it just makes more sense to rent one for those odd moments we want to give it a try.
I'm going to try a Coney Island day trip one sunny Saturday or Sunday. Haven't been in 40 year.
Thanks Green Adventures! Our family is looking forward to its next Green Adventure!

β β β β β If you are looking for an experience at Lake Of The Woods, look no further than Green Adventures. They know the lake and the amazing history of the lake like no other and offer amazing tours and excursions. We wanted to see some of the amazing beaches of Lake Of The Woods, so we asked Scott to show us around. He knows where the hidden gems are!
