2026 Season Finale: Fall Riding at Pend Oreille Park!

As the spectacular 2026 riding season comes to a close, we are wrapping things up at one of our absolute favorite local destinations. Join us for our final scheduled trail ride of the year at the beautiful Pend Oreille Park!

Located right on the border of Spokane and Pend Oreille counties, this forested 440-acre park is the perfect backdrop for a crisp, late-season ride. With its towering mixed-conifer canopy and easy trail systems, it’s a wonderful, relaxing way to celebrate another great year of trail riding and fellowship.

The Riding & Terrain

If you are looking for a gentle, relaxing ride to end the season, Pend Oreille Park is ideal.

• The Trails: We will be exploring the park's scenic, multi-use loop trails. The trails here are wide, well-maintained, and mostly flat, making them incredibly gentle on the horses.

• The Atmosphere: Expect a peaceful ride through old-growth cedar, hemlock, and grand fir trees. Because it's late in the fall, we'll enjoy the quiet, crisp autumn air and a carpet of colorful leaves underfoot.

What to Pack & Keep in Mind

• Stock Water: There is no potable water or dedicated stock watering facilities at the trailhead, so please bring plenty of water in your trailer for your horses.

• Layer Up: Mountain temperatures can drop quickly this time of year—be sure to dress in layers and pack a warm jacket!

• Season Wrap-up: We'll plan a little social time at the trailers after the ride to reminisce about our favorite 2026 adventures, so feel free to pack some snacks or a thermos of hot apple cider to share!
