First time away from home for my youngster. My husband was riding our wonderfully experienced trail horse. We rode 3 times in December. First time the trails were solid, the second time we walked a lot through water up to their knees. Where the map shows wet or had wet in the name, it is wet! We haven't riden the entire Preserve yet, but we found the long straighter trails to be old road beds and much better footing for the wet weather. We parked in the lot off Smokey Road (Lot C), which is on the other side of the park from St. Rt. 61. Again, in the wet weather, watch where you park. Stay up on the high ground or near the road on the gravel. Great local park! Plus we always stop at Quarry Hill on the corner of Mason and Humm and pick up apples, cider, apple fritters, veggies, etc. (They have wine too - in warmer weather you could have a nice picnic!) |
