Please Note – Update February 2015 –

There has been some changes to this park, many areas are now restricted to horses due to a new wood cable fence and gates; it is also overgrown. Please visit the park first without your horse to determine if this is a place you want to ride or not. I have received messages from two different riders that due to the gates and overgrowth the riding here is very restricted and it is hardly worth coming out for.   Unless you live extremely close and can ride over you may not want to mess with hauling your horses here.  There is no longer a good area to park your truck and trailer anymore. Thank you WTTA users for updating us on the condition of this park.
