To
ride horses:
- Anyone
16 years of age
or older will
need a Trail
Pass, cost is
$4/day or $20/year.
- If
you trailer
your horses in,
the vehicle pulling
the trailer
will need a State
Park admission
sticker. You
may purchase
that when you
arrive. Cost
for cars with
Wisconsin plates
is $7/day or
$25/year; for
cars without
Wisconsin plates
the cost is
$10/day or $35/year. If
you arrive
when the office
is closed you must self-register
for an admission
sticker or
be subject to
a fine.
- Unloading
for the west
end trails is
at Parking Lot
J. Unloading
for the east
end trails is
at the Trailhead
parking lot.
- There
is no facility
that rents horses
to bring into
the park to ride
though there
are places to
rent and ride
horses off-property.
What
do you do if
I arrive and
the office is
closed?
You
must self register.
Directions
to self register: There
is a labeled
self-registration
box located next
to the ice machine
at the Entrance
Station. Lift
the lid and there
are arrows on
the lid indicating
which envelope
to use for camping/vehicle
admission stickers
or trail passes
or hunting. The
registration
and envelope
are all one form. Please
fill out the
registration
legibly and completely. There
is a fee schedule
located on the
wall of the building
(just above the
lid), place the
correct amount
(we take checks
or cash) in the
envelope. Remove
the top copy
and place it
on your vehicle
dash (for camping
and vehicle admission)
or on your person
(for trail or
hunting passes). Peel
off the strip,
fold it over
and seal the
envelope. Put
it in the slot
in the yellow
post. If
you want an annual
sticker or annual
trail pass, make
sure we can read
your name and
address and put
the correct amount
in the envelope.
We will mail
the sticker to
you. If
you do not self-register,
you will be subject
to a fine.
Is
it safe to use
the park during
the hunting season?
It
is your decision
but there has never
been an injury
of a non-hunter
in the park due
to hunting. No
rifles or handguns
are allowed for
hunting, only shotguns, muzzleloading firearms, and bow and arrow are allowed which lowers the chance of injury.
However,
if you are still
uncomfortable there
are several things
you can do. Wearing
blaze orange will
make you more visible. You
may ride before
9:00am or after
2:00pm. There
is a portion of
the horse trail
on the eastern
end of the park
that is in the “No
Hunting” area.
