Cannot recommend the horseback riding at all. The staff is rude as hell. First I showed my husband, who is nervous around horses as he has no experience, some horses relaxing in a paddock. We yelled at multiple times by an employee on a smoke break (at a barn, and near children - are you kidding me?!) To "Not feed the horses". She was about 20 yards away, and there was a sign immediately next to us stating not to feed them. As we were not feeding them, I continued to acclimate my spouse to the horses. I about 5 minutes she screamed twice more about not feeding the horses, but couldn't be arsed to come over and actually SEE that no one was feeding the horses. When we get around to actually requesting a ride, the woman behind the counter seemed exasperated - the ride we wanted was just getting ready to leave. And by that she meant they hadn't even been assigned horses yet. Speaking of horses - half of them are overweight, and all of them are bored out of their minds. They tack them in western gear, but instruct you to use English signals "if you need to - but you shouldn't have to do anything." That's right, they tell you that you should literally have to give no direction to these horses. Good thing, too, since the makeshift reins they give you are so short that if you try to actually have an appropriate grip the guide will scream at you to loosen the tension. I spent this entire ride contorted in an awkward position to keep my arm stretched 1/4 way up the horse's neck, holding the reins with a single hooked finger. I guess it's a good thing we never broke out of a slow walk. I've been riding since I was a child. I know the equestrian community is famous for having stuck up, hypocritical people as the majority of their rank. If the point of this barn is to demonstrate this, bravo, job well done. You've managed to make my husband want nothing to do with "horse people" unless I can make sure they aren't like the staff here.

Great park! Many trails for many skill levels! Mountain bike trails are accessible and maintained. Harrison Trace is paved and is an easy walk for those with mobility concerns. Lawrence Creek Trail could be signed better as it is easy to get lost on that trail!

Talked to a nice park ranger here who told me which bike trail I should try. It was the most fun bike trail I have ever done. The trail was well marked with sharp turns with good terrain. I highly recommend their bike trail.

Go to the stables for the pony rides! Ask for Trigger, he was the softest and sweetest. $3 cash for 3 laps with a parent holding the lead. It was great. Can't do the trail rides yet, our daughter is too young. The 20th century war museum is staffed by volunteers and we enjoyed the walk through the history. They have top rate artifacts and a simulation of a trench from WWI.

Great place to enjoy the outdoors hiking biking golf or even a picnic. Clean park with a gate fee. The lodge is a great place to stay when you are in the area or visiting the park. This place is open all year round.
