The Trail House opened its doors in 1984 with the desire of bringing to the Frederick area a top rate, high quality outdoor shop with exceptional customer service. We offer a wide range of products from backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, and rock climbing gear, to an extensive selection of both rugged and casual footwear, as well as apparel for any outdoor activity.

Our focus has always been, and will continue to be, our exceptional customer service. We will stand behind the products we sell and our knowledgeable and well trained staff will help you make the best possible buying decisions.

We are an excellent resource for local and regional maps and guidebooks whether you are looking to hike, bike, rock climb, paddle, or camp.

So welcome to our website. Please browse around and contact us if you have any questions. We would always invite you to visit us in person, in beautiful Downtown Frederick, to fully see what we have to offer and meet our great staff!
