Equestrian enthusiasts will find dedicated horse camping at this Forest Service facility within Wayne National Forest. The campground restricts pets entirely, maintaining focus on horseback activities across both forested and open terrain sections.
Access requires navigating rough roads, so campers should prepare vehicles accordingly and allow extra travel time. The nearby Kinderhook Horse Trail provides additional equestrian camping just over a mile south. Plan to bring all necessary supplies, as the remote forest setting limits nearby services.
Description
This is the Wayne National Forest's newest trail system which provides 12 miles of scenic riding. Horses, mountain bike riders, and hikers are welcome on this trail.The trail winds through some of the steeper hills on the Wayne National Forest. It will lead you through a variety of vegetation: open fields, brushland, mature forest, and new forest.
