Hiking Around Hanover, NH

In addition to the Appalachian Trail, Hanover has 70 hiking paths and trails, many of which can be reached by a short walk from downtown or from convenient parking areas at trail heads.  Visit the Town of Hanover for information and an on-line version of their trail map, or try the Upper Valley Trails Alliance for information on walking trails in other area towns.  Hanover Outdoors carries Guide Books and Maps for local and regional trails throughout NH and VT.

We carry a variety of consumables including energy food by Clif and Luna, entrees from Mountain House and water purification supplies from Aqua Mira and Potable Aqua. We also carry stove fuel, first aid essentials, sun screens and repellents.

If your gear needs to be replaced or repaired, we can help you with Black Diamond hiking staffs and headlamps, containers from Klean Kanteen and pack and tent supplies from Outdoor Research and Mountain Hardwear.

Of course we can provide you with the best quality clothing from Patagonia, Ex Officio and Mountain Khakis for any kind of weather you may encounter. If your feet are feeling the effects of the trail, a new pair of socks from Smartwool or Darn Tough are sure to make a difference.

Whether you are a first-time hiker that has never seen a white blaze, a section-hiker looking for the next lean-to, or a veteran who has walked the entire Trail multiple times, don’t pass by our hiker-friendly store without stopping in to receive personal attention from our staff (many of whom live on the AT — figuratively and literally). We can provide you with maps, guidebooks, trail food, water tablets, gas for your stove, clothes and gear. We will also give you valuable updates on weather, lodging, and other free advice sure to make your visit to Hanover enjoyable.

If there is something you need that we don’t have, we can usually tell you where to find it.
