Trails are a combination of pasture and fields with grass and dirt footing. There is one ½ mile section of gravel, but riders can ride on the grass shoulder if needed. This ride would be considered barefoot friendly. Trails are gently rolling hills and will travel beside and across the headwaters of the Pembina River. Ride through ancient giant oak tree stands. A huge thank you to Myna Margetts for not only allowing us to camp and ride on her property, but for also finding these amazing trails.Ride camp is just West of Myna's yard in a grassy pasture with space for camping and setting up pens. There is an outhouse and troughs full of water to fill your buckets.Ride camp Location:GPS 49.0856659,-99.9304236From Hwy 10, turn East on road 8N and go 6 miles East.
