Laurel Hill Ride


Randall and Debra Hagan and Michael and Sharon Lesner rode their foxtrotters at Laurel Hill Horse Trail two weeks ago. Great place to ride.

You can do about a three to five hour ride that takes you over some fairly good size hills, some great trails along the beautiful stream that runs through the park and good places to water your horse. The horse trail heads are very primitive with no restrooms so come prepared.

We find it a good place to do some trail training on young foxtrotters and a great spot for a day ride. It is outside Lawrenceburg TN. Here is the PDF trail map and information for your review. www.state.tn.us/twra/gis/wmapdf/LaurelHillbw.pdf
