Through an expansive trail network, the hundreds of miles of trails in the area allow guests to experience a new adventure every day. One section of the ride may be spent listening to the rustle of pine needles as your horse winds through tight turns, then you cross a creek, and suddenly you find the pines are replaced by maples, hickories, sumac and holly bushes; while thick ropes of vine drape across the trees. Your setting, once reminiscent of Narnia, now resembles a jungle.
