Backpacking Starts on the Trail — and Can Continue on the Water

Backpacking is about covering ground, staying light, and keeping your options open. Long miles on foot, remote campsites, and routes that sometimes lead to lakes, rivers, or paddle-access locations. At DV Outdoors, our backpacking gear is selected with a trail-first mindset, while still supporting trips that include kayaking or shoreline exploration.

If your adventure starts on the trail and ends with a paddle, you’re in the right place.
