Riders must be at least 12 years of age for the trail ride, which lasts for about 1.5 hours and is currently $95 per person. Note that there is also a weight restriction of 225 pounds.

Enjoy winding through the onsite woodland wildlife sanctuary, where you may spot wild turkey, foxes, deer, or even bald eagles.

You'll trek past Pocomoke river waters and towering cypress trees. You may want to bring a camera to capture the sights along this serene oasis.

Helmets are provided but be sure to bring bug spray and wear long pants. Boots are preferred -- and no sandals, for obvious reasons.
