Adventure Review

I went to Brown County State Park to go horse back riding with my dad. We both got pretty good horses. I got a bay and he got a sorrel. The trails were beautiful and I recommend this ride for anyone! Even if you’ve never rode before. This was mid November of 2009. We chose Brown County because of it’s pretty scenery during the fall. We enjoy the rolling hills and the good weather. The horses were well behaved.

It costs $15.00 per person to go on the 2.2mile trail that we rode on. Each person gets their own horse while on the riding trail. These trails are guided by a trail guide. Our trail guide was really aware and funny. He told us when and what was coming up. He also told us if we had to be careful or not.

The saddle barn is open 9am-5pm daily (weather permitting) If your wanting to go horseback riding my recommendation would be to go to Brown County State Park, located at the saddle barn.

If you own your own horse they also have trails for you to ride on.

[...] There are tons of places that have picnic tables for eating and just hanging out. Some of them have great views and some are wooded. There were several playgrounds scattered about the park as well. There is even a cabin you can rent that looks like it was built in the 1800s!! It’s by the firetower and someone actually had a birthday party on the day we were there!! There are several well marked trails to hike as well. The map they give you at the entrance has them well marked throughout the park. There are also specifically designated horse trails and mountain bike trails as well.
