Whenever I post updates, I like to add a photo to increase visibility. Most of them come from my rides or people I ride with, but I'd love to feature more of YOUR photos!

Please share pics from your rides and your beautiful horses, or other cool shots from the trail either here in the comments, via messenger, or email them to jordanlakehorsetrail at gmail dot com!

This guy was just wondering when he is going to see YOU out on the trail??

Summer hours are HERE!

Trail is OPEN dawn to dusk, 7 days/week through August 31st.
Favorite this page to make sure you get important updates about high-water closures, controlled burns, storm damage, etc!
We've also added a FAQ to our "Highlights" section, so check it out. See you out there!

Beautiful day for a Sunday ride!
Large tree down across the rail bed close to the Transis Camp road. It’s a bit sketch trying to get around even on the low side so please use your best judgement/caution. We’ll get it taken care of as soon as we can!

📣Volunteer work day *Saturday* March 21 📣

We will be holding our first volunteer work day on Saturday, March 21, 2026. We will plan to meet in the main trailer parking lot at 2pm, hopefully ending near 4pm.

The primary goals will be to touch up faded markings and mark/fill holes as we are able. Comment below if you're able to make it.

We appreciate your continued support!

Some of our board members (and a very nice birder!) out installing the new mounting block (this one is cemented down, so hopefully it doesn’t disappear again!), putting up signs, picking up trash, and re-marking section A1-A4 on our volunteer work day this past Sunday.

Due to the lack of volunteer turnout, we’ve decided to postpone the next work day from 12/28 to Jan/Feb after the holidays. We understand this time of year is tough! Thank you for your continued support!

🚨 Upcoming volunteer work days 🚨

Sunday December 7th, 10am
Sunday December 28th, 1pm

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and enjoyed some riding time yesterday (love seeing lots of trailers in the parking lot!)

The trail clearing has been completed (!!!) so now it’s time to get out there and repaint some faded markings.

Objectives:
Remarking and mounting block installation

We will meet in the trailer parking area and break into small groups to try and cover as much trail as we can. Paint will be provided.

Install and bolt down new mounting block.
If anyone has a small augur they’d be willing to bring, please send us a message or email jordanlakehorsetrail [at] gmail dot com.

Comment below or message us to let us know you’re coming! Hope to see you out there.

As always, thank you for your continued support!

For the first time since Chantal blew (poured?) through NC, the rail bed is clear. We are grateful today!
