Sometimes the best way to appreciate nature is to get out in it, no matter the season. If you're like me and a bit too clumsy to handle skis, winter horseback riding in Wisconsin can be a perfect way to get you out into the wilderness to experience all the beauty the season has to offer. Too many folks only head to the Door County Peninsula in the summer, but the winter is much less crowded and showcases a whole different side to this amazing part of our state. Halfway out the peninsula, there's a chance to gallop through the snow and you won't want to miss out. If you've never been to Kurtz Corral for some winter horseback riding in Wisconsin, reading through this might just make you want to plan a visit.
Up near Sturgeon Bay in Wisconsin is a beautiful horse stable known as Kurtz Corral.
As a family-owned business since 1960, this corral sits on 140 acres but has access to 500+ acres of neighboring land.
Kurtz Corral offers a spectacular setting for saddling up and heading out to experience nature from a different viewpoint.
In the spring, summer, and fall, the view is pretty great, especially when the leaves change.
The horses take you into virtually untouched woods and really allow you to relax and escape the stress of city life.
In winter in Wisconsin, the area takes on a truly magical quality, with the sun glinting off sparkling snow.
Fog from nearby Lake Michigan sometimes rolls in, making the surroundings even more ethereal.
Just a short drive from a number of cities, Kurtz Corral is like an oasis of peace and nature.
Riders of all ages and experiences can get in the saddle and enjoy some winter horseback riding in Wisconsin here.
The horses do all the hard work while you settle in and marvel at the views around you.
Reservations are requested at least 24 hours in advance. Available days for winter rides are Fridays through Sundays.
You'll love sharing the ride with friends and family and getting a chance to breathe the crisp air.
There might be snow for miles, but you'll feel like you're the only one inhabiting the space.
When you head back, you leave the horses in their corral and they may even pose for some pretty pictures.
Then you get to head inside to this awesome cabin to warm up around the fire, make new friends, and sip on hot cider to warm you back up.
A trip to Kurtz Corral is perfect for those looking for winter adventures in Wisconsin.
