​For another riding option......Exit the park at the very most northern point of the Outer Loop Trail and follow Hwy ZZ east for about a mile to a horse friendly bar and grill. It's an easy ride along side a quiet road. Enjoy lunch at the Pleasant Ridge Store (bar and grill). 

Governor Dodge State Park offers 35 miles of the finest horse trails in the state, with scenic views of the beautiful meadows, bluffs with rocky outcroppings, creek crossings and lakes. Riders access the trails at the Horse Trailer Parking Area near the
