Rooted in Place, Built to Feel Personal
Outdoors with Griff started from a real love of place and the kind of outdoor time people actually remember. Based in Shoal Lake, Manitoba, the brand is built around sharing the surrounding area with warmth, honesty, and practical local knowledge rather than turning it into a generic tourism product.
“The goal is simple: help people feel welcome, well-guided, and glad they chose to spend their time here.”
That is why the brand connects stays, guided fishing, and guided hiking in a way that stays flexible and human. Some guests want a basecamp stay, some want a day on the water or trail, and some want a broader plan. The common thread is a grounded experience that feels welcoming, capable, and worth repeating.
The Guide Behind the Brand
Brett “Griff” Griffin brings more than 30 years of territory experience to Outdoors with Griff, along with a licensed Manitoba hunting and fishing guide background, a respect for conservation, and a practical way of helping people feel better prepared before they head out. The experience here is not built around a résumé. It is built around clear guidance, sound judgment, and a genuine love for sharing the area around us well.
Local Knowledge
The brand is grounded in Shoal Lake and shaped by real familiarity with the surrounding area, seasons, pacing, and what makes a trip feel worthwhile.
Safety-Minded Approach
Guests can expect practical decisions, honest communication, and an approach that respects conditions, comfort levels, and the realities of being outdoors.
Family-Run Support
The experience stays personal because the brand is family-run, hands-on, and built around real follow-through.
Stay + Fish + Hike Connection
Basecamp stays, fishing, and hiking can stand alone or work together, making the planning process more flexible and more useful.
Founder background note: Outdoors with Griff is a division of Lakeview Comforts, with the outdoor side focused on personal, place-rooted experiences.
Family-Run by Design
Andrea helps keep the brand personal in the ways guests actually notice, from the tone of communication to the grounded feel behind the experience. That family-run layer matters because it keeps Outdoors with Griff welcoming, practical, and real rather than overbuilt or impersonal.
What Guests Can Expect
Guests can expect real communication, practical guidance, and a welcoming experience that stays flexible around how they want to plan their time. Fishing and hiking can be booked without a Basecamp stay as day trips or from other camp locations, and multi-day options may also be available depending on the fit.
- Real communication: clear replies, grounded expectations, and no inflated sales language.
- Practical guidance: support that helps guests understand the right stay, fishing day, hike, or mix.
