ATV, Snowmobile and Horseback Riding
In the spring and summer, travelers can experience the stunning surrounding landscapes from a new vantage point as they enjoy a guided horseback ride along the many nearby trails. Rides are available privately or with groups for one or two-hour durations on a daily basis and can be booked online or by phone.
This activity is appropriate for all ages and experience levels, with pony rides also available for even the youngest equestrians. More restricted options for horseback riding are available year-round as weather permits.
In colder months, saddle up on something more suitable for the snow-covered terrain with their snowmobile tours and rentals. Spend the day sledding over hills and through the woods.
ATV rentals are also available throughout the year for those looking for a more rugged off-road experience.
