Portage Lake Trading Post is a charming local convenience store located on the river, accessible by both boat and car. It offers a wide variety of items, including milk, cold beverages, wine, beer, liquor, candy, nostalgic children's candy, lotto, paper goods, and basic grocery items. The store features a 5ft bear that is perfect for photo opportunities. Customers appreciate the awesome staff, who are known for being kind and helpful, as well as for serving the community responsibly by checking IDs. The new owner is dedicated to preserving the history of the Trading Post and has collaborated with local businesses to restore its floors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Many visitors enjoy stopping by for snacks and drinks while on the river, and the presence of a friendly puppy adds to the delightful experience. With its old-style charm and committed service, Portage Lake Trading Post is a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike.
They always have what I need and Dawn is always willing to order specific things if she's able to get it. The staff is always pleasant and happy to help.
