Trail Notes:
This trail goes through mostly forest, but also some fields. The terrain is gently rolling without anything too severely steep. There are creeks to cross. It is easy to follow due to the fact that this is a favorite place to ride in so the area gets a lot of use. The trails are wide and kept mowed, more like "bridle paths" than single track trails. They can be ridden with 2 or more horses side by side.
Other Trail Users:
Hikers, mountain bike riders, and hunters.
