Horse Trail

Horse Trail is a half-mile equestrian route that likely serves as a connector or access path within a larger trail network. At under a mile, it's brief enough to function as a spur or link between longer routes. The designation suggests it's maintained for horseback riding, though many such trails accommodate hikers as well.

Calkins Creek Crossover Horse Trail has a broken bridge and a washed out bridge.

Calkins Creek Crossover Horse Trail has a broken bridge and a washed out bridge. The first bridge coming from the Raquette Falls trail (~.5 miles from junction) is broken and unsafe for Horse use. This bridge will be removed in 2025 to allow for safer passage by horses and a plan developed for replacement. The 2nd bridge (~1.0 mile from junction) has been washed downstream but ability to ford this crossing is with horses and rock hop for hikers is clear.
