All equestrian trails are OPEN as of 5/1/20.

Update from Forester John Byrd and Technician Patrick Thomas.

All equestrian trails are OPEN as of 5/1/20.  Due to the expected high number of riders on the weekends, we are opening the Upper Day Use Parking area each day from 8:00 AM until 8 PM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (Not open during the week and not at night).  The Lower Day Use Parking area will continue to remain open as it is now. There is still NO CAMPING in any campground at this time.  Please park your trailers in a manner that makes the day use areas conducive for use by other trailers. 

Effective May 1, 2020 one pit toilet in the Lower and Upper Campgrounds, along with Martin Pond will be open for use. These toilets will be unisex.

Here’s how you can help protect yourself and others from COVID-19:

• According to State of Iowa recommendations, limit your group size and stay at least 6 feet away from other visitors.
• If you have been sick in the last two weeks, please stay at home for your health and the safety of others.
• Avoid popular areas where people may congregate 
• Please maintain distance between you and other visitors according to guidelines and recommendations by health officials. Please take into consideration the health of others when spending time outdoors.  
• Pack extra hand sanitizer. Sanitizer will not be easily available due to limited supplies. Be sure and bring your own and use frequently.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility. We appreciate your support as we all work together to keep each other safe.
