Ausable River Outfitters — Local services in Big Creek Township

Great place to go for everything outdoors! They always have a great selection, too. I have bought everything from ammo & shooting supplies to fishing reels & tackle. ARO has an awesome selection of fishing and recreational kayaks, as well as firearms. They are truly an outfitter for whatever your outdoor activity is. They do a great job at keeping a competitive selection on the shelves and keeping what people ask for and want. At ARO, you can almost always count on competitive price to online prices for the given item. You will not see unfairly high prices here. Most of the time you can find things at or below online prices and will occasionally find yourself paying a little more here which does not bother me. That is a price I find worth paying for the expertise you will receive here, (not found with online shopping) as well as supporting local business that go out of their way to support our outdoor sports, recreation, hunting, and fishing...

They have everything you need for your outdoor adventure. I was mainly looking at kayaking stuff, but they had fishing, hunting, camping items. The store is set out well, and very clean. They have a great selection of kayaks at very reasonable prices. All their equipment was very competitive prices. Members of our group bought kayak paddles, I bought accessories for my kayak. They also have a nice snack bar with great pastry's. The restrooms are very clean. All the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. Anytime I am in this area I will be stopping by to buy something at this store. We had members of our group drive back to Mio just to go back to this store and sample it's great selection. Thank you very much for helping to make our river trip and visit to Mio...

UPDATE: I did finally get the refund. However, the merchandise I originally ordered and was told was not in stock is still able to be ordered on the website.

This is only in regard to online ordering. First of all, the people I've talked to are all nice, however I still haven't received my merchandise or a refund. I ordered (and credit card charged) on Dec 23rd. On January 7th I called and was told they were shorthanded and would send my package that day. The next day, I receieved a call and was told they didn't have the merchandise. A week later and they still haven't reversed the charges. I'm going to have to dispute with my credit...
