Mazama Sporting Goods was founded in 1972 as a partnership between a couple of guys, one of which owned the Mazama Timber company. Mount Mazama is in Oregon. Most of us know of it from the huge crater that was left when it erupted and collapsed in on itself, forming Crater Lake.
Mount Mazama was given its name in 1896 when a climbing club from Portland, The Mazamas, organized a visit to Crater Lake and named the lost peak after their own club; the name derived from a Native American term meaning “mountain goat”.
Mazama Sporting Goods is locally owned and has continued to support local families for many decades. We strongly support our community and other small businesses. We sell locally made products that are quality, and tailor-made for our region.
Mazama is the little guy working hard to compete with big box retailers, yet we are nothing like big box retailers. We love our customers and strive to offer the best customer service experience possible, all while building life-long relationships. We know that without you, we wouldn’t have the jobs that we enjoy.
Our commitment to you makes us shine. We go the extra mile to help you find the products that work best for you. Our store is consistently being refined and evolving to help meet your needs. When you think Fishing or Firearms, think Mazama! We don’t just sell it, we live it! We are here to serve you.
