Hiking Is A Great Outdoor Activity

Vermont isn’t called the Green Mountain State for nothing! With trails to suit all, hiking is a great outdoor activity to take advantage of for all ages and all levels. Beginners can start with some short hikes like Mt. Philo State Park or Lake Elmore, or, if you need a slight more challenge, there are many hikes in the Breadloaf area near Middlebury. Many know of the big local challenge of hiking the Long Trail, the oldest long distance trail in the U.S., 272 miles and constructed between 1910-1930.

With that being said, Rack N’ Reel is here to provide all the essentials for both day hikes and long distance ventures. Things you will find on our shelves include, packs, rain covers, water bottles, trail food, stoves, head lamps and much more!
