Explore the Great Outdoors with Johnson Hardware - Your Premier Outdoor Gear Store

Our outdoor gear store sits less than a mile from the Long Trail and directly off the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, which makes us a regular stop for backpackers, cyclists, and anyone heading into the Green Mountains. We stock outdoor gear for all four seasons, and we stock it for people who are going out this weekend, not next quarter.

We are 15 minutes from Smugglers Notch, 25 minutes from Stowe and an hour from Burlington. If you are already on the road and realized you forgot fuel, a headlamp or a rain shell, we are the closest place to fix it.

Shop by Activity

Our outdoor department is organized around what you are actually doing.

Long Trail Support

We accept Long Trail resupply packages, and we offer free charging stations and a hiker swap box for anyone passing through. Full details, including our mail drop address and the November 1 pickup cutoff, are on our Long Trail thru-hiker page.

We are also a proud sponsor of the Green Mountain Club.
