Horse Riding and Camping

Horseback riding is permitted on most national forests. Often, specific trails will be designated for horseback riding, so check the forest website before you hit the trails. Trail etiquette for multiple use trails calls for horses to have the right-of-way. Hikers should yield to horses. Bicyclists should yield to horses and hikers. Horse riders are responsible for the control of their horse at all times. Many trails are open to multiple non-motorized uses, meaning the trails are shared by hikers, horse riders, and bicyclists.
