An 1890's era general store, the building is located on the banks of the scenic Susquehanna River. This unique structure houses Shank’s Mare Outfitters, “The Rookery” meeting facility, home base for our Outdoor Education Center, and a great staff dedicated to the idea that we all need to
“go play outside!”
Our selection of “go play outside” apparel and gear supports your active lifestyle, no matter what your outdoor pursuit!
an old Scottish saying meaning “to travel by foot”
Since 1978, Shank's Mare Outfitters has meant the best quality equipment, clothing, instruction, and trips for outdoor adventurers in South Central Pennsylvania; kayaking, canoeing, and hiking the Susquehanna.
It’s our lifestyle statement! We wear it, we live it, we teach it, we share it...
