Please note that while we have made every effort to include the most current information, we ask that you call before go to any of the listed facilities.  Many WMAs will close to horses during certain hunts.  Fees are subject to change.  Please call! 
 

 Anyone planning to ride on a WMA (Wildlife Management Area) during hunting season should check with the regulations book first to make sure they are not planning to ride on a managed hunt day

If you know of additional horse opportunities, please email the Back Country Horsemen of North Georgia and include the following:  Name, address, phone, email, acreage, miles of trails, camping facilities, horse facilities, fees, maps, if you can, and any other relevant information - such as closed during Spring, or dogs prohibited.
