Our Story

From the gorge.

Wilson Creek runs out of the high country below Grandfather Mountain and drops through one of the wildest gorges in the North Carolina foothills. It's trout water, waterfall country, and a lot of gravel road.

We started Wilson Creek Trading Company to make goods that belong here. Quality materials, simple design, and pieces you'll keep reaching for every time you head up the creek.

See you on the water, or by the fire.
2000Wilson Creek designated a National Wild & Scenic River

1Home water. Every name we use comes from a place along the creek.
The Journal

Notes from up the creek.

New releases, limited runs and the occasional fishing report. A few letters a season, nothing more.
