With the extensive trail system, Pembina Gorge State Park is a one-of-a-kind riding experience for equestrians. Please note that all of the trails except Lady Slipper Loop and Blazing Star Loop are also open to OHVs, bikers, and hikers. These two loops are non-motorized trails open to bikers, hikers, and horseback riders only.
