We took the long trail heading east and found it to be enjoyable but the ground was pretty rocky in some areas and some trail riders might find it challenging. Lots of deer and turkey seen throughout the 12+ mile ride. Part of the trail is single file and very narrow but the scenery was nice and there were no bike riders or other hazards. There is plenty of shade which is nice during warm weather. Trails are well marked. Be prepared to open and close several gates along the way and two important things to know: 1) there is a wood bridge that you have to cross; and 2) there is a vehicle bridge that you have to pass under. The cars whizzing above may scare some horses and there is NO room for error at either bridge location. We dismounted and walked our horses along these two sections but a well seasoned trail horse would probably be fine. The camp sites are very nice with pipe corrals situated under shade trees; BBQ's, very clean port-a-potties, wash rack, and a large meeting area which is convenient for large groups or organized rides. |

We camped with all 4 of our children, and 3 horses. The children had plenty of activities to keep them busy while Dad and I went out on the trails with the horses. The stalls were clean upon arrival. The campsite was big enough for our living quarters/3 horse trailer, plus a tent for the boys to sleep in. We'll be going back again during the week of Thanksgiving. We loved it!! |

Their food was wonderful. I think I gained 4 lbs when I was there for a week. I felt welcomed by their friendly hospitality. I will definately go back. Our group saw a lot of wild life including bear, turkey and deer. Our guide saw a bald eagle the week before she said. Trails were nicely marked and very scenic. I loved the "Montana" and "Bessie Dewey" trails. Facilities were modern; hot showers, flush toilets & even a private dressing area, arena, wash bay, dumping station, water and electric hookups, tie stalls, jacuzzi and swimming pool, rec hall with pool table and ping pong. They really offered a lot for very little cost. |
