Country Trail Ride, is located in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, which provides many national parks to explore and some of the nation's most beautiful scenery.

Our trail system encompasses approximately 300 miles of cut trail. It will take you over mountains, across streams, and through beautiful fields. It offers some of the most scenic trail riding in the nation and our trails are safe for riders of all ages and skill levels. There are bluffs overlooking the Jack's Fork River, fields where wild horses feed, a mountain top view of our campground, and plenty of wooded trails where you're likely to see whitetail deer, wild turkey, or a rabbit or two.

Our vacation experience is unparalleled! Attendance at our trail ride events ranges from 200 guests up to nearly 2000. We try very hard to maintain a family friendly environment. Each trail ride has very different demographics. May and late October events are a more mature group of people who come more for the riding than the entertainment. June, July, and September are mostly families with a lot of kids of all ages attending. August is a mix of young adults and early October is a mix of folks with ages ranging from early 30's to late 70's. All our trail ride events are fun in their own way, but the one thing that is true of all of them is the camaraderie and genuine friendliness of the people who attend. Many of our guests have attended for 10 to 20 years and there are several guests who are on the third or fourth generation vacationing with us!
