Women's Weekend Fall Ride

Located in RJD Memorial Hardwood Forest, the Zumbro Bottoms Management Unit has 3 campgrounds; Central, North, and West, managed by Frontenac State Park. The 72 horse campsites are considered "primitive," designed to furnish only the basic needs of the camper. The campsites consist of a cleared area, fire ring, and table. A vault toilet, a hand-pumped well, picket lines, tie rails, and manure disposal are also available. The campground allows for portable corrals.

Rates

Daily camping maximum: $16.00

Our "crew" will be set up in the West campground as it sports the most available sites.

Pot luck will be on Sat night as usual.

Same rules apply as always~

1. No Men

Word on the street says that shoes are not required but there are some rocky areas.

Here's a few pictures of our amazing weekend!

We enjoyed the beautiful scenery down at Zumbro Bottoms Horse Camp, where you have trails ranging from deep sand tracks to steep rocky hillside climbs where you can overlook some amazing views. The weather was perfect and the bugs were almost non-existent.

We were actually able to get down to the river to get our horses a drink, and cool off feet as this year has been so dry. The banks of the river do drop off tho, so be careful! Our puppy companion overstepped and disappeared out of view, requiring a rescue from us and our extra lead ropes. Fire-weed lines the bank of most of the river, so be warned~ rescue attempts will be met with some uncomfortable after effects.
