HORSEBACK RIDING AT MINOOKA

The riding trails at Minooka Park have some relatively steep hills; therefore, we recommend that riders have some trail riding experience and a breast collar on the saddle.

There are also a few areas with water (no more than 12” deep) that have to be crossed.  Please be aware if your horse balks at water.

Thank you for choosing Minooka Park for your next riding experience.

For more information please call the Park Manager at 205-312-1376
