The Goethe State Forest Apex Trailhead is a beautiful location with over 40 miles of marked equestrian trails! You will be able to enjoy some amazing scenery on wide well-marked trails.
We always strive to use public land so that we can inspire others to use the trails, this keeps funding available and will allow us amazing places to ride our horses for years to come!
This event is a fundraiser to help make these beautiful trails even better! Your event fees will be helping public trails to continue to be accessible and enjoyable for years and years to come!
If you are coming for the day please park at the Trail Head across the street from the Campground for free parking but meetings and registration will be in the Goethe Trailhead Pavillion.
