A New Kind of Outdoor Store
Arrow Outpost is coming to Pleasant Ridge this summer, and we’re bringing a new kind of outdoor gear shop to Cincinnati - part outfitter, part deli, part bar and a place where you can be inspired to explore the outdoors, listen to music or just hang out.
Get adventure-ready
Shop for quality used outdoor gear, plus a curated lineup of new outdoor essentials for everyday exploring or big adventures.
Got gear collecting dust? Sell your used outdoor gear for cash on the spot and turn yesterday’s adventures into tomorrow’s plans.
Get Outside with Great Gear
Catch us in the wild
Until our location is open, hang out with us at pop-ups and events around town!
Gear + Gather: Community Gear Swap
We can't wait to be a part of our new community, so we're joining up with Community Happens Here for a little preview party before the shop opens!
It's spring cleaning time - so bring outdoor gear that you no longer use to swap or sell. We'll also have some of the gear we'll be selling at Arrow Outpost for sale too.
Come ready to sell, swap or shop at the Community Gear Swap! If you would like to bring gear to the swap, please reach out to niki@explorearrow.com so that we can reserve your FREE space to sell.
We'll be buying out select gear for the store. Check out the Selling Guidelines to learn more about the sort of gear that you can get cash for on the spot!
Enjoy samples of some of the deli sides that you might find at the Outpost and give us feedback and help us to perfect our recipes.
Outside, join us around the bonfires for yummy beverages and sing along with the acoustic sounds of our pals Jason and Jeff.
Paddlefest + Outdoors for All Expo
Join Arrow Outpost at the 2026 Ohio River Paddlefest! We'll be set up at the Friday Night Expo, camping at the event and waking up to do the 4.5 mile float! Register to join us on the Arrow Outpost team at www.ohioriverpaddlefest.org.
WHAT IT PADDLEFEST?
Paddlefest is recognized as the nation’s largest paddling celebration, with nearly 2,000 participants traveling up to nine miles through downtown Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky in canoes, kayaks and other human-powered craft. This year marks the 25th anniversary of this hallmark Cincinnati event, and organizers are aiming for record participation.
OUTDOORS FOR ALL EXPO
Join us on Friday the 31st, along with 70+ booths, featuring local parks, outdoor outfitters, adventure experts and environmentally-minded organizations. Take in a great lineup of live music from Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle, Jake Speed & The Freddies, and Ma Crow & Co., plus MadTree beer and food trucks. Whether you're into paddling, hiking, biking or green living, or even if you just love great local music, you'll find lots to enjoy. The event is FREE and open to the public from 4-9:30 p.m. Camping is available at the website.

"Niki is so friendly and knowledgeable about everything outdoor! And who doesn’t love a “bar” in an outdoor gear consignment store?!?! Love the vibe and atmosphere and will for sure be back!"
