Scenic Trail Rides

Explore the natural beauty of Chautauqua County on our signature scenic trail rides. These guided rides wind through peaceful wooded trails, gently sloping meadows, and scenic lookout points with views of Lake Erie.

Each trail ride maintains a slow and steady pace, making it ideal for guests of all skill levels.

Sunset Rides (1.5 – 2 Hours)

Take your trail ride to the next level with a sunset ride, a longer and more immersive experience. Lasting between 1.5 and 2 hours, these evening rides showcase the most beautiful time of day on the farm — when golden light filters through the trees and the fields glow at dusk.

Sunset rides are limited and popular, so advanced reservations are strongly encouraged.


Perfect For:


  • Couples
  • Small groups
  • Guests seeking a quiet, memorable ride
