Equestrian/Hiking/Biking Trails


Open for equestrian use, hiking, and mountain biking, the Bell Cow Lake Trail System runs along the shoreline of Bell Cow Lake. Featuring two out-and-back trails, this system is mostly used by equestrians and is considered to be easy and accessible for all experienced riders. The trails have a lot of variance in the terrain which make an interesting ride. Horse shoes are not required. The trails share a trailhead located in Area C. The trails map is available onsite where users can pay their daily trails fee. Please do not attempt to ride all the way around the lake. This is not possible due to fencing and dangerous bogs.
