It is described as an all-around great shop, one of the best Frederick has to offer, and a highly recommended place to visit for outdoor gear.
Was that The Trail House today for some new boots and the staff was super patient and friendly. Can't beat the local small town vibe. And their prices are the same as you would find on Amazon or anywhere else. Hoorah for The Trail House.

Love that this place is dog friendly! And they have an interesting selection of items especially for being a somewhat smaller sized store. worth a stop while you’re in downtown Frederick.
