Horseback
riding for pleasure has made a phenomenal growth in recent years. In large cities,
suburban areas and rural communities vast numbers of people from almost every
walk of life are learning to ride or are riding at present. In New York State
we are indeed fortunate in having numerous areas and marked trails for this growing
recreational use. State owned lands under the jurisdiction of the Department of
Environmental Conservation provide a multitude of opportunities for the out door
enthusiast who enjoys hunting or fishing, hiking, canoeing, camping or horseback
riding. These lands consist of forest perserve holdings within the Adirondack
and Catskill Parks as well as state reforestation areas and wildlife management
areas across the state and are available for public use. Many of these trail
networks provide support facilities such as hitching rails, horse shelters, lean-tos
for the rider and adequate parking for cars and trailer. State lands fulfill
a growing need for recreational trail riding and you are invited to use and enjoy
them. Consistent with the multiple use management concept on publicly owned lands,
you will encounter other recreational users, such as hunters, hikers, campers,
and the like. Common courtesy is all that is required to ensure that such encounters
are pleasant ones. We invite you to browse through our, soon to be, largest
New York Horseback Riding directory online! Maps of these Trails will soon
follow courtesy of The Department of Environmental Conservation (D.E.C.)
