CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS!!!! Always ask for a receipt ! Old…read moreowners were respectable but now these new owners have employees that have tried to add on extra gas pricing & even tried to sneak a jug of washer fluid on my bill. ive stayed in the area for vacation for over 20 years and have never been this disgusted.

It certainly is the "heart" of Marten River. It's also the only interesting place in Marten River!…read more My friends and I ended up stopping at the Trapper Trading Post involuntarily during a camping trip two months ago. Were it not for a traffic jam caused by some genius trying to overtake a truck and causing both vehicles to crash into each other several kilometres down the highway, it's likely that we never would have visited this place. That being said, I'm glad I visited, because this is what small-town Ontario is all about. You want weird local newspapers filled with fluff content? This is your joint right here. Need some booze? This is a licensed LCBO retailer - with a whopping two aisles of booze to choose from. Want some weird knick-knacks or joke items so you can have the infamy of crowing about how you stopped here? Make this your first stop. It says something when the only other places in this "town" are a chipstand and a fire station/town hall (closed, of course) across the street, so there was little to do other than check out the nearby lake and mill around the store. For what it's worth, the service is very good (the cashier there apparently has "contacts" in the OPP, which she was bragging about to great effect as she tried to relay information and updates to visitors) and the selection isn't all that bad. I can see this being a weird, quirkly place to stop at if you need something quick or are in dire need of supplies. Just don't go out of your way for it if you don't have to. 3/5.
