Map:
Map of the trail.


Footing:
The trail is covered in hog fuel so it's good for unshod horses but it can also be very slippery after a heavy rain.

What to Bring:
Everything! There is no water for horse or rider. There are no restrooms. You'll also want to pack mosquito repellent for this ride.

Parking:
The parking area is fairly large and most days (if the park isn't too full) you can pull through with ease.

Seasons:
Since the trail does get a bit slippery, it's best to head out in the summer/fall or in the winter if things are really dry ... which, as you know, doesn't happen around these parts!

Happy trails!
