HAYRIDES

A great group activity. Come and experience a horse drawn hayride pulled by our team of gentle draft horses.  Gather your family, friends, or co-workers and pile on our large, flat bed wagons for a fun filled, hour long ride through the park. One wagon can accommodate up to 40 people. If your group is larger than that, we will take multiple wagons out. After the ride, sit back, relax, and enjoy a crackling camp fire, ideal for roasting marshmallows, hot dogs, warming up, or just telling stories.  Recreational fires with picnic tables are offered either one hour prior to or following your ride for $10. Outlets are available to plug in hot drinks during your ride to be taken out to your fire after. Please call at least two weeks in advance to make a reservation. A deposit or credit card number is needed to hold a reservation. Rides can be scheduled from 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM Monday to Saturday and 12:30 to 4:30 PM on Sundays. Additional fee for rides scheduled after 7:30 PM ($25 per wagon per hour). We are closed on Mondays from Labor Day until Memorial Day. Please designate one person as a group leader who will be responsible for coordinating the activity (see “Group Leader Checklist” below).

OPEN HAYRIDES IN OCTOBER

Every Saturday and Sunday in October at 1:30PM (arrive 20 min early to check in) we offer open hayrides.  This means you do not have to have a reservation or a minimum number of people and will share the wagon with other riders. The cost is $7.50/person

SLEIGH RIDES

Experience winter in a new way! Sleigh rides are available provided we have sufficient snow. We have a 2-4 person antique sleigh, a 10 person bench seat sleigh, and two 25 person flatbed sleighs.  The antique sleigh ride is half an hour and the larger sleighs are approximately hour long rides. Reservations are necessary. If we do not have sufficient snow at the time of your ride, a hay wagon will be taken out instead. A deposit or credit card number is needed to hold a reservation. Please designate one person as a group leader who will be responsible for coordinating the activity (see “Group Leader Checklist” below).
