Dust off the winter cobwebs and join us for an AQHA trail ride through the beautiful Cedars of Lebanon State Park in Lebanon, Tennessee, on May 2. If you're already attending QuarterFest, May 1-3, meet us at the Tennessee Miller Coliseum in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to drive to the park with our guides. If you're just planning to come for the ride on Saturday, you can meet the group at the trailhead.
All riders who sign up in advance will receive a box lunch the day of the ride. The cost of the ride is $20. The trail ride will take most of the day, and a team of local experts from the park will share the park’s history and lead other horse activities.
The park contains 900 acres that are used for intensive recreation. An additional 8,100 acres are operated by the Parks Division as a natural area and by the Forestry Division as a State Forest. The park offers 12.5 miles of marked trails for horseback riding. Hundreds of miles of forestry fire trails are also available for exploring. A current negative Coggins certificate is required for all horses entering the park. To learn more about Cedars of Lebanon State Park, visit www.tennessee.gov/environment/parks/Cedars.
