Bridle Trail Conditions - Too Wet for Riding; Family Wilderness closed for winter; Construction of Visitors Center in Progress
... details ±Bridle Trail Conditions:
Due to the weekly rain/snow in the past few months, the bridle trails have not had an ample opportunity to dry and are currently too wet for riding and should remain too wet through the weekend of March 7. For the safety of riders and horses, as well as the prevention of trail damage, please do not ride the trails until drying has occurred. Remember that horses are allowed only on designated bridle trails. Riding on the power line easement, closed sections of the old West Loop, or areas other than designated bridle trails is unlawful. Hikers are allowed to walk on bridle trails, but should yield the trail when riders approach.
The new parking area is now complete. The parking area has been expanded and includes a new entrance and new exit for easier parking and turning. As a reminder - if you bring dogs they must be on a leash and under control at all times.
The Family Wilderness Camp is closed for winter and will reopen March 15, 2010.
New Visitor Center Construction:
Construction on the new Visitor's Center and new picnic shelter for Raven Rock State Park is in progress. Opening is anticipated for April 2010.
