| Trail Description |
All horse trails are on the north side of the Green River and the Park. They are pretty well maintained and very well marked. Alot of single file riding. This is true trail riding and not just gravel road riding. Some very beautiful scenery and some wildlife. There are rocky hills to climb up and come down on, streams to cross, logs to step over or jump over, depending on your horse, and mud holes to get through. The trails are traveled alot and are very visible. Be sure to get a map before heading out. There are other horse camp sites available that may provide a guide or keep the riders on the easier trails. This is ride on your own campground. |
