The area is also very horse-friendly, with more than 20 miles of trails and sand roads, stables, kennels, corrals and arenas. A meeting hall and waterfowl pond add to the facilities, and the property is also a wildlife management area, so hunters and visitors should wear blaze orange during gun deer seasons.
