Trail Notes:
There are trails in a really wild looking portion of this area that are not, and never have been, open to horseback riding. That area and those trails are very fragile and just can't handle horses being ridden there. There were obvious signs that some people were still riding it even though it is posted to stay out and had gates. Please DO NOT ride your horse there. You can hike into the area if you'd like to see it. The Conservation Dept. has built some other trails in the area to help offset the fact that we can't ride in that area. This is a really neat area and really worth the visit, especially if you don't mind adding a bit of a hike to your day.
Other Trail Users:
Hikers and hunters.
