Horseback Riding

Seventeen miles of designated horse trails are available to riders. Caution should be used when crossing open areas because of holes and other hazards.

Before You Ride

To prevent damage to fragile historic resources and unsafe encounters in busy visitor areas, horses are prohibited in picnic areas, the vicinity of historic buildings, and tour stops. Horse excrement needs to be removed (by owner or person having custody of animal) from all paved walkways, roads and parking areas.

Where to Park

Horse trailers may only be parked in one of the following areas:

• The horse trailer area of the main Visitor Center parking lot.

• The Pawlings Road parking lot and along the south side of the Walnut Hill access road.

• Washington Memorial Chapel Lot (located east of Chapel).
