Smoky Mountain Trader - Cleveland, Georgia

Tamara Albright

Lovely, knowledgeable and attentive staff. Found the right pair of hiking shoes and a fabulous art project book using natural materials for my daughter. Also found a sweet owl book for my preschool class at the time. Let’s not leave out the adorable sloth hiking socks either.

One thing's for sure this is a hidden treasure in Cleveland Georgia. They have a great selection of hiking apparel camping equipment as well as high in clothing. The staff is knowledgeable friendly and answered our questions. We will definitely be back and we've told family about this place too.

If you are looking for an outfitter, you will be surprised to find such a great selection in a small town as you will find at Smoky Mountain Trader. One employee--Aubree--is a soft spoken big bear of a man with a world of outdoor experience. If you were dropped into the store from from outer space (or Atlanta), and suddenly decided to hike to the top of Mt. Yonah (or one of the many other scenic hikes around), no doubt he would give you great advice and have the gear that would get you there and back. Clothes, hiking poles, backpacks, socks, hiking boots and shoes, bear spray, compass, maps, knives, and pretty much everything you need for your expedition from scratch. I highly recommend that you stop by on your way to your next hike. You won't be disppointed.

(Except firearms. If you need a firearm for your personal protection, you could hit up my friends at Gun Commanders who have a surprisingly large inventory of their wares.)

Smokey Mountain Trader is our go to! My husband and I have never had a bad experience there. All of the employees have always been so helpful and have helped us find the best fit for us when it comes to our shoes instead of automatically going for the newest and most expensive. We don’t go often because they only sell high quality items that last but when we do go it’s always a fun time and we never leave disappointed. PLUS they’re locally owned and I will always encourage people to shop local!
