The longleaf Horse Trail is a multipurpose trail (hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and horse wagons) that winds through a longleaf pine ecosystem. It has three trail loops, totaling 21 miles of trail for riders to explore. Each loop is marked with a different trail color to allow for easy trail identification and travel.
Parking, picnicking, camping and fishing are available at the trailhead. All 12 campsites have picnic tables, fire-rings, and a hitching post. There is no potable water available. The Gator Pond can be used to water horses but no horses are allowed on the pond dam.
A WMA permit and fishing license are required to fish at the pond located at the trailhead.
