Riverview Outdoors and Recreation, ROAR, is owned by Jamie and Jessica Omdahl. It is Roseau's store for anything outdoors. They have items for sale, rentals and host many outdoor events.

Their passion for outdoors has been passed onto their daughters Kailey, Kaia and Ashlynn.

Their goal is to now pass their experiences on to the Roseau Community and get them moving in the great outdoors!

"It is those teachings I'd love to pass on to the community through getting more people physically active in the outdoors by hosting fun and exciting events year round that cater to all ages and fitness levels." stated Jessica.

They recently have added axe-throwing to their list of rentals.

There are four targets available and all you have to do is call for reservations or click the "Book Now" button on their website under axe throwing!

You do need to be 18 years of age or older, or accompanied by an adult and all participants MUST sign a waiver. They provide the axes and no personal axes are allowed.

ROAR personnel have the right to refuse service to anyone who is assumed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and don't forget to wear closed-toe shoes.

ROAR carries everything from dog gear to travel and outdoor accessories. They have athletic clothing, socks and footwear. If you find yourself in need of a new water bottle be sure to stop in and check out their selection.

If you prefer to take your adventure out in the woods they carry Gerber multi tools and knives.

"At ROAR we aim to bring you the best equipment at an affordable price to make your adventure as comfortable and memory-filled as possible," said Jessica.

Their goal is to get more people moving outdoors.

ROAR also carries several items for the community to rent: bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, floating docks, river tubes, canoes, Solo Stoves to snowshoes and much more!
