Shockaloe Horse Trail

Bienville National Forest

The Shockaloe Horse Trail is located on the Bienville National Forest between Forest and Morton just north of US Highway 80. The trail consists of a winding 23 miles of wide pathway, think of it as a long dirt road that takes riders through a variety of terrain and vegetation types found in the area, and allows the traveler to view first-hand multiple use management practices on the national forest. The real appeal of this trail seems to be a tour of a large block of relatively intact southern pine forest.

The trail crosses several local roads and allows the rider the option of several rides of varying lengths from 1.5 to 23 miles.

There are two support base camps associated with the trail. Base Camp 1 is located .25 mile north of US 80 on Forest Service Road 513. Base Camp 2 is located approximately five miles further north of FS 513. Each of these areas has sanitary facilities, picnic tables, cooking grills, hitching rails, drinking water, and an open area for parking and camping.

Base Camp 2 is open yearly while Base Camp 1 is operated under a seasonal closure policy and is open April through October.

The trail is marked throughout its entire length with trail signs and markers. The standard marker is a wooden sigh with a horse and rider on it. These markers are placed at intervals along the trail and are easily followed while using the trail.

There are several challenging jumps located at various places along the trail, and these are marked with signs depicting a mounted horse- man making a jump. There is an alternate route located around these jumps and riders wishing to avoid them are able to go around them.
