From Staunton River State Park to the shores of Buggs Island Lake, Halifax County is an outdoor paradise. Get the gear to match at Moss Mountain Outfitters.
South Boston and Halifax County sit at the crossroads of Virginia's best water-based recreation -- where the Dan and Staunton rivers converge and Buggs Island Lake stretches to the south.
With Buggs Island Lake (Kerr Reservoir) to the south and Staunton River State Park just minutes away, South Boston outdoor enthusiasts need reliable gear for fishing, paddling, hiking, and camping. Moss Mountain Outfitters in Danville is only about 35 minutes west on Route 58, putting premium outdoor brands within easy reach. Landon and Susan stock everything from high-performance camp stoves to durable hiking boots for the Staunton River trails. If you're gearing up for a weekend at the lake, we're your closest source for trail-tested equipment.

When South Boston residents shop at Moss Mountain, 100% of profits support the Head Up Eyes Forward Foundation. That's not a marketing tagline -- it's Landon and Susan's reason for opening this store.
