The Northland College Outpost - Outdoor Equipment Rental Center

The Northland College Outpost rents and sells outdoor gear to the Northland College Community and the greater Chequamegon Bay Community. From tents to trowels, canoes to Coleman stoves, and backpacks to bear ropes, we have outdoor gear options for every season and most group sizes. Bring in your old gear and we’ll sell it here on consignment. It’s an easy way make money off your battered boots and outdated skis.
