Some of the most phenomenal views of the magnificent Shawnee National Forest is right out our back door. Shawnee National Forest is enclosed with rapid streams, mazes of boulders, steep cliffs, sandstone bluffs, surging waterfalls, secrete caves, deep gorges, and breathtaking overlooks. These magnificent views mold Shawnee into one of the most beautiful locations to ride on horseback in the United States. Join our friends and family for an unforgettable week of trail riding through the spectacular Shawnee \”No one knows the Shawnee like we do!!\”
