Quick Facts

Parking - Auto, Trailhead

Approximately 6 miles of trails are maintained in Catoctin Mountain Park for public horseback riding. These trails are identified with a Orange Triangle Blaze. The section of the Catoctin National Recreation Trail North of Park Central Road also accommodates equestrian use.

Trailer parking is available across from the entrance to Camp Greentop. If the parking area is snow covered or muddy, horse trailers should be parked at Round Meadow and horses led or ridden along the shoulder of Park Central Road to the trails.
