Explore Summit County's Best Outdoor Stores This Summer

Breckenridge is made for adventurers. Endless mountain peaks, lakes, and streams provide a beautiful backdrop for a multitude of year-round outdoor activities. Although Breck is famous for top-notch skiing and snowboarding, there are so many other things to do in our town as well! Each season offers a one-of-a-kind experience, and in our opinion, there's nothing quite like our quaint little town in the summertime.

Summit County is filled with great spots to help you suit up for all of your outdoor adventures. Whether you're planning on camping under the stars, taking a hiking trip up the mountains, or heading to the Colorado River to secure your own fresh catch of the day, you're never too far from the quality gear you need to start exploring. Enjoy our local's guide to the best outdoor stores in Summit County: summer edition!

Orvis Fly Fishing Store 101 N. Main Street Suite B, Breckenridge, CO 80424 | 970-453-4135

When it comes to anything water-related in Summit County, Orvis is the place to start. This store stocks fly-fishing rods, reels, clothing, gear — and even small gift items and luggage. During the summer, Breckenridge is a world-class destination for fly-fishing. Both the Colorado River and the Blue River are excellent spots for catching rainbow trout while basking in the late summer sunshine. If you're planning a day on the water, stopping by Orvis is a must.

Mountain Angler 311 S. Main Street, Breckenridge, CO 80424 | 970-453-4665

Located in Main Street Mall, Mountain Angler is an outdoor clothing store that also happens to be Summit County's oldest provider of fly fishing guide services. If you're looking to book a guided fly fishing adventure on the Blue River, Colorado River, Eagle River, or beyond, this Breckenridge staple should be your first call. Open seven days a week, Mountain Angler carries high-quality outdoor gear for all four seasons — not just summer.

Patagonia 133 S. Main Street, Breckenridge, CO 80424 | 800-638-6464

Patagonia has a well-earned reputation for environmentally-conscious clothing and outdoor goods. From jackets to sleeping bags, the Breckenridge location is a great spot for scoring soft goods of all kinds. If the urge to get away for a weekend of s'mores and camping strikes, you'll find everything you need here.

Local tip: Breck is a casual town — the kind where going out to dinner usually only requires changing into your "nice jeans." Athleisure isn't going anywhere around here, so don't be afraid to rock your Patagonia on the campgrounds and while shopping Main Street. You'll fit right in.

REI in Dillon 306 Dillon Ridge Road, Dillon, CO 80435 | 970-468-0161

If you're newer to the outdoors and looking to learn, REI in Dillon offers a rotating calendar of classes on hiking, knot tying, and survival skills.

Lululemon on Main Street carries apparel for yoga, running, CrossFit, hiking, and biking — plus comfortable everyday pieces that transition seamlessly from trail to town.

The outdoor fun never stops in Summit County. While you're in town this summer, grab a bite at some of our favorite local spots and start planning your return trip for fall or winter. Breckenridge has a way of becoming more than a vacation destination — it becomes home. If you're ready to make that happen, reach out. Finding the right property for your lifestyle in this market is what I do.
