Horseback Riding

We in Klamath, Lake and Modoc Counties know what you’re looking for when you want to ride horseback: a beautiful trail and plenty of room to move around. That’s all. And you’ll find it here, where local horse enthusiasts have teamed up with federal and state rangers to develop a network of camping and trail facilities geared to equestrian pursuits. For endless trails and beauty consider Crescent Lake Oregon, located off Highway 58 on the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains just ten minutes away from the Willamette Pass Ski Area. Horseback riders will enjoy the endless trails and ride on a bit of history as they ride a section of the Pacific Crest Trail.
