Kinderhook Horse Trail System

Current Conditions

All trails west of State Route 7 and south of State Route 260 on our Marietta Unit might have sections with heavy, downed trees due to the July 21 storm. Personnel are aware of the situation and working to clear these areas as quickly as possible. For your safety, always turn around if a trail becomes impassable.

This trail system provides 12 miles of scenic riding. Horses, mountain bike riders, and hikers are welcome on this trail. It winds through some of the steeper hills on the Wayne National Forest. It will lead you through a variety of vegetation: open fields, brushland, mature forest, and new forest. Along the way, you may glimpse wildlife, and will recognize the influence of humans, both now and in the past. You will also pass many of our land management activities.
