- Today's state parks give modern equestrians
the opportunity to follow in the hoofprints of early conquistadors, Indians, colonists,
and cowboys. The parks offer horseback riders some of the best scenery in Texas. Nine
parks have equestrian camping and riding facilities, and four more have riding trails for
day-use only.
- Whether you're planning for a day or a week on
the trail, enjoyment and comfort should be the first priority for both horses and riders.
- Unless otherwise stated, the only expenses are
park entrance and/or camping fees. Day-use is included in the park entrance fee, but
camping incurs an additional charge. Horse rentals are available near a few parks as noted
below.
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TEXAS
ANIMAL HEALTH COMMISSION: All horses entering state parks must have written proof that
they have tested negative for Coggins Disease. Form VS 10-11, less than 12 months old, is
acceptable proof.
