Gearhead Outfitters (Formerly Rock Creek) (Ocoee Outpost)
Gearhead Outfitters (GHO) was founded by Ted Herget in 1997 in a friend’s living room in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Starting small, GHO quickly expanded and, after five years, relocated to Main Street in 2003, helping to revitalize the downtown area. Their dedication to quality and customer service has driven their growth into states like Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado. In 2019, they acquired Rock/Creek and Uncle Dan’s, followed by Summit Canyon Mountaineering in 2024. Today, Gearhead Outfitters remains family-owned by Ted and Amanda Herget, staying true to their passion for the outdoors and their communities.

Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC)
It all started on the Nantahala in 1972, with three friends who knew there was something special about this place, and something magical about the time spent in the river, in the hills and on the trails. In the decades since then, the river has seen it all: millions of visitors and millions of smiles. Every year since its founding, NOC has strived to share the wonders of this place, and all the places we raft, hike, pedal and paddle.
