Otter Creek Vacations

$500 per class From $363 per visit with Endurance Trekking: 4 Days, 3 Nights pass Purchase required to enroll Show full pricing
Otter Creek is the premiere horse back riding trail system in NY State. Join us as we stay in luxury cabins and explore the trails on horseback!

Located at the North Eastern portion of the Adirondack Mountains, the entire trail system is a series of sandy, wooded trails between Otter Creek and the Independence River, tributaries to the Black River. It's a really beautiful trail system and has a little bit of everything: marsh, rocks, meadow, overlooks and woodlands. Basing at the cabins we have access to miles and miles of trails to ride.


For the Recreational EquiTravel Trip we rent a luxury cabin at the north end of the trail system that is only a ½ mile ride out the door to some of the most beautiful sandy trails.

For the Endurance Trekking Trip we rent Val McCloskey's cabin which is more centrally located and directly on the trail heads giving endurance riders significantly more instant access to milage options.
Each day we have the option of packing a lunch and going on a long trek, or taking shorter trips returning to the cabin for our meals. Each horse has their own stall and paddock, making it possible for people to easily and safely (for the horse) sit out any ride to just enjoy the cabin.
