Horseback Riding

The Ouachita National Forest has many options for equestrians. The Cedar Lake Equestrian Trails travel from the Cedar Lake Equestrian Camp through the Holson Valley area and up to the Talimena Scenic Drive, Oklahoma’s National Scenic Byway. The Billy Creek Trail winds down from the Talimena Scenic Drive, Oklahoma’s National Scenic Byway atop Winding Stair Mountain curving down to the Billy Creek Campground in the Kiamichi Valley. There are many ranches in the area including Horse Heaven and The A to Z Guest Ranch (see the Members or Lodging pages for links to these ranches).
