Pack for the Drive

Cottage / Rice Lake weekend checklist from The Old Railroad Stop at 341 Hiawatha Line, Hiawatha First Nation (north shore of Rice Lake, minutes from Hwy 7 / Peterborough). Print this page or tick items in your notes — no signup required.

Before you leave town

  • Confirm store hours: 7:00 am–9:00 pm daily (closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day).
  • Check live Fuel Prices on the homepage — Premium is 0% ethanol (ethanol-free) for boats, classics, and small engines.
  • Decide pickup vs ship: cold food and frozen stay pickup-only; drinks, gifts, and most automotive parts can ship (rates at checkout; no free-shipping promise).

Fuel & boat / classic car

Car kit (quick stop)

  • Wipers / filters / pads — call 705-295-GEAR (4327) to confirm shelf stock; winter landing: Winter Tires & Wipers.
  • Oil / air filter if you already know the part; EcoGard lookup stays on the Automotive page.

Snacks & drinks for the drive

  • Chips, confectionary, and shelf-stable drinks ship; grab bags for the car or cottage.
  • Dairy, frozen, and cold deli: plan for in-store pickup only.
  • Kids in the back seat? Juice boxes + a small gift from Rice Lake Weekend staff picks.

Gifts & cottage extras
