Have you had a chance to ride your horse along the Columbia River? If not, here's your opportunity!
The trail from Frenchman's Bar (2.5 miles) to the river and eventually down to Vancouver Lake is a great place to go on a hot day to cool off and splash in the water.
This is a shared use trail and is heavily used so your horse should be comfortable with bikes, people walking and running, strollers, dogs, and more.
Water access is available at many points along the trail so there will be plenty of opportunities to get your horse into the water and splashing around!
Parking:
There is equestrian parking on Lower River Road at Frenchman's Bar. Instead of following the road to the left toward Vancouver Lake, go straight and then make a right into the designated equestrian parking area. A sign will mark the spot. Parking can get tight on hot days so make sure you are considerate of others and pull in so that others can use that parking as well.
Directions:
I-5 to Exit C1-1D
W on Fourth Plain Blvd turns into Lower River Road
Follow signs to park
