Trail Description Unlike some of the other listings on this directory, I have only listed the trail mileage actually on my property, did not include mileage from nearby trail systems. GRR trails vary from flat and easy for cantering and gaiting, to more challenging sections that may be narrow, have water crossings, small wooden bridge, short but steeper areas. Nothing dangerous, good footing, very little rock. Trails are well marked, named, rated and mapped. By-pass trails exist for beginner riders, although many young beginners have ridden all our trails without incident.
Best Time to Visit Any time, call for availability
Times to Avoid Rainy wet conditions, week of Thanksgiving, week between Christmas and New Years.
Campground Each site, ranging in length from 40-60 feet, has electric and water hookups with a picnic table and fire ring. Behind each site is a small cleared area for portable corrals or high lines. There is a dump station on the premises. Stalls and/or run pens are also available for rent in the stables.
