In 1998, The Outdoor Experience was formed out of a desire to provide the Upper Cumberland with outdoor clothing and equipment that not only looks and performs well but were brands proven to last over time.

This commitment to quality and sustainability is the foundation that continues to help the Outdoor Experience succeed in meeting the needs of outdoor lovers like yourself.

Whether climbing, paddling, traveling, backpacking, hiking or just believing in quality and comfort, the Outdoor Experience welcomes and appreciates your business. After all… life is too short to stay indoors!!

Outdoor Experience carries some of the finest in outdoor apparel and gear available, featuring such brands as North Face, Sanuk, Chaco, Vibram 5-Finger Shoes, Aqua-bound, Nalgene, Cliff, and of course, Jackson Kayaks, maker of the Coosa Angling Kayak, featured and used exclusively by Stone’s Throw Adventures in their guiding for trout, stripers, and muskellunge.

In fact, we are one of only two dealers in Middle Tennessee who are carrying this great fishing kayak! The Coosa has been designed by professional kayak fisherman Drew Gregory, who worked with the Jackson Kayak architects to answer to the continually evolving needs of the kayak fisherman. Aside from excelling in lakes, ponds, inshore and most offshore settings, the Coosa is the first kayak to ever cater to the river angler… making it the first ever ALL water fishing craft!

If you are wishing to see these boats in action before buying, but don’t wish to book a trip with Stone’s Throw Adventures for musky or trout fishing in the  Jackson Coosa Elites, Kayak Musky Guide Cory Allen, a member of the Jackson Kayak Fishing Team, will be happy to take you out for a “test drive” showcasing the handling and angling features the Coosa offers on a local body of water [in the Cookeville city limits]…FOR FREE! Call 931-261-2483 or just ask an employee at Outdoor Experience for details in scheduling a Jackson Coosa test drive.
