What a great workday we had at Pierce Creek Equestrian Campground! Over 20 horse -loving volunteers came together to make some great improvements and work on clean up projects! This park and it's trail system just keep getting better and better.
Thanks to a grant we are looking forward to finishing up some new pens and acquiring 5 brand new picnic tables and a shelter for the primitive campground. Watch for new solar lights and an arena as well.
This workday was organized by the equestrian committee and supported by the conservation board and the SW Chapter of the Back Country Horseman's Association.
Shelters at all parks can be reserved; there is a fee of $20.00 for shelter house reservations.
Call (712)-542-3864 to make reservations and for more information.
