Enjoy guided trail rides, pony rides and hayrides at Pokagon State Park
SADDLE BARN - RIDES
Visitors to Pokagon State Park can enjoy a guided horseback ride on a 2-mile bridle trail (sorry, you can’t bring your own horse). Short guide-led pony rides are available for younger children. Hayrides run most Saturday nights, as long as there is enough interest (20 riders). Inquire at the Saddle Barn.
There are no dress requirements, but you will be most comfortable in long pants and closed toe shoes. Carry your phone, camera, etc. at your own risk. If dropped, many horse hooves will pass over it before it can be retrieved. The guide will not stop for these items, and you will have to walk back to get them.
