• Information is based on MTRA Survey of Horse Facilities
and provided as a guide.
• Information may change between survives including the number of miles and campsites
and may not be all-inclusive.
• There may be other forests or trail systems that allow horses but trails may
not be designated as horse trails.
• Camping facilities in state forests are listed on separate line from trails
since Parks manage them and Trails and Waterways manage trails.
• Camp information refers to horse camps in parks or forests. It does not include
regular camps.
• City listed is the office not necessarily the closest city to the facility.
• More detail including directions for the Parks and Forests are included in
