Wilderness Voyageurs Outfitters Upper Yough Outfitter Store is located at the take out of the Upper Yough in Friendsville, Maryland. It is open seasonally on Upper Yough release days. When we say it is located “at the take out”, that is truly literal! Rafts and kayaks stop right at the river bank where the store is a few yards away! Private boaters are welcome to use our steps and leave your kayaks in the yard while you are running shuttle.
Our Friendsville store location has a more limited selection of gear than the Ohiopyle outfitter store. However, we have all of the essentials to get you on the water. Paddles by Werner, paddling gear by Immersion Research, kayaks by Pyranha, and Jackson. Boats are available to demo.
We have added an Outdoor Gear Consignment Shop to the mix here in Friendsville. Do you have some equipment that no longer fits, or changing up sports? Bring it in and we will work hard to sell it for you.
If there is something you have seen at our Ohiopyle store, give us a call and we are happy to make sure that it is awaiting you in Friendsville. Call our offices at 800-272-4141.
