Story

Wild Rock is the place for all your outdoor gear - cycling, camping, paddling, travel and everything you need to live life and play in the outdoors. With the best brands in the industry and dedicated, knowledgeable staff we can get you ready for your next adventure in the Kawarthas, or across the globe!

The Wild Rock name came up at about 3am when Scott and Kieran were driving a clapped out ‘82 Chevette with one wiper blade in snowstorm on the way home from a climbing trip to the T-Wall in Tennessee in winter 1992.

Two 24-year-old lads, Kieran Andrews, a professional ski and climbing bum, and Scott Murison, a climbing and telemark major with a minor Bachelor of Commerce degree, launched Wild Rock Outfitters in the fall of 1992. Kieran and Scott started small, with a 900 square foot store on George Street in downtown Peterborough.

In 1997, they purchased their present location on Charlotte St, the old bingo hall (previously an A&P grocery store originally built in 1938) and gutted and renovated it.

In March 2003 they launched a new category offering professional and friendly service and sales for mountain, road and hybrid bikes. Bike Werks was developed when Scott and Kieran took on two new partners in the business, Dave Woodfine and long-time employee Jonathon Moreno. With a newly renovated space in the Wild Rock Outfitters store, Bike Werks provides a fantastic selection of bikes and accessories for anyone interested in two-wheeled adventure. So natural was the fit that eventually the Bike Werks name was dropped and Wild Rock became the place we know today!

Since then the Wild Rock crew has been busting their butts trying to be the best little privately owned store relevant to the outdoor athlete and enthusiast.

Discovered this store online and we’re very happy with that luck. Turned out that they have great prices, inventory, options and super kind, helpful staff. Such a great experience for us. We were treated as valued customers by professional and knowledgeable staff, very accommodating enabling us to feel confident in our choices and end results. Highly recommend Wild Rock to anyone looking for outdoor activity gear and equipment. Ask for Jon in camping and you won’t go wrong Cheers!
I stopped in at Wild Rock Outfitters for the first to purchase cross country skis. My experience was top shelf from beginning to end. Excellent knowledgeable direction and advice along with quality equipment. The selection of outdoor gear and clothing for anyone who loves to live outside is incredible. I highly recommend you visit Wild Rock, you will not be disappointed.
The customer service I had on both visits I made deciding on what boots to buy was exemplary. The price was also the same as ordering online, but with the service I had I would've been happy to pay a bit more to support them. Keep this level of customer service and I will keep coming back as well as recommend this place to all my friends.
Really great experience renting from Wild Rock. We rented two pedal assist bikes e-bikes to ride up to Lakefield. We showed up slightly after opening and the bikes were ready to go. I was able to pre-pay online they provided helmets for no additional charge. The associate was really nice about adjusting the seat a couple of times for me and gave us a quick tutorial. We did get a little turned about trying to find the back door but I definitely think you would be okay to just go through the main store entrance. I really loved that the pickup /drop off just had to be during store hours - not a tighter time window. It allowed us to be really flexible with our day.
Top products in the industry. I’m a canoe tripping instructor and paddling instructor so I love that. I can browse and ask questions with no pressure. Knowledgeable staff help me learn and decide what I need in things that I don’t know much about, cross-country skiing for example. Bargains in the basement are always worth stopping for a look.
Wild Rock staff were professional and very helpful when I needed to do a long distance exchange. All went smoothly! The entire team at Wild Rock provided excellent customer service. Thanks again, Wild Rock. Highly recommend!!
What a great store! I’ve bought lots of outdoor gear here; hiking shoes, quick dry pants, snow pants, hats, stove fuel, and more. If you’re spending time outdoors they will have something to make your day great. Also, the staff are friendly and helpful.
Great to deal with. Long drive to get what I wanted but everything was set up perfectly and on time. Nice folks, Peterborough is lucky to have them!
I waited to buy a "real" bike. I got a text from the store saying "My bike" was ready for me before I committed to buying "My" bike. I am 6'5" and weighed 250 pounds.. "My" bike was brought in specifically for me.. I was so happy riding it but after just 100 kilometers..."My" bike had a broken spoke and the main chain link shattered.. a Trek dual sport. I still have my old CCM that has never failed me..but my brother gave that to me. Please don't blame it on the bike. I was sold the wrong bike for me.
WildRock supports our community in so many ways - great products, great service, and caring friendly knowledgeable staff.
