| Trail Description |
Nice woodland trails, cleared paths, logging roads, creeks, Clarion river crossing. Some are easier than others. Your horse needs to be in condition for the hills we climb and should be shod with horseshoes for this terrain. |

| Campground |
32 acres of shaded camping. You can picket your horse at your site as long as you protect the bark on the trees or you can use a tie stall as long as you clean it before leaving. Water/Electric sections available or Electric only sections available in remote areas. No charge for water/electric nor stalls when there isn't an organized food ride scheduled. Dumping station available, wash bay, arena, recreation hall with pool table, ping pong and satelite tv, basketball, volleyball, swimming pool, jacuzzi, horseshoes, hiking, and bird watching. Call ahead for reservations. You stop at office and pay before setting up camp. They will be glad to help you with any questions you may have.
Trail maps are available. If you have never been there before I would suggest going out with someone who has or a guide (guides are free during organized food rides and gathering days) to get the feel for the lay of the land. There are some places you won't find without a guide. There are beautiful scenic overviews and picturesque landscapes.
We also rent horses for your convenience. |
