The Winter Horseback Riding Trail In Missouri That’s Pure Magic

One of the many great things about horseback riding is that it can be enjoyed year-round, as long as you dress right to stay warm. Take a trip to this rustic lodge in Black, Missouri for a perfect little winter retreat.

Brushy Creek Lodge and Resort is located in the beautiful Mark Twain National Forest.

The lodge includes horseback trails, wagon trains, hiking, a restaurant and more.

Riders can choose from a few different trails, which take anywhere from 4 to 6.5 hours to complete during a relaxing trot. Riders can go on a guided group tour or have their own personal trail guide.

In addition to horseback riding, guests can also take a wagon ride pulled by lodge horses.

Enjoy camping at a reserved spot on-site.

Or, warm up in a rental cabin during the colder months.

Fill up on a hearty meal at their homey restaurant, Trails End.

Even in the winter, Brushy Creek is the perfect place for a peaceful escape in the Ozarks. And as a bonus, you'll make some 4-legged friends along the way.
