Welcome to GayOutdoors

We’re the premier gay and gay-friendly men’s adventure club in the Northeast. We welcome beginners and offer year-round activities—hikes, backpacking, camping, paddling, urban walks, social events, and more.

Don’t have a car? No problem—members often arrange carpools for trips.

“Before GO, I really lacked hiking habits or any healthy friends…My first hike, Mt. Israel, kicked my ass. Thanks to GO, I learned I could challenge myself and climb up any mountain that gets in my way. I've met some dear hiking friends and found my partner Mo. ”
— Fred, Lancaster, NH
