Pachaug State Forest Chapman Area

Horseback Riding

There are three loops for equestrians that, in addition to yellow diamonds are marked with arrows and mileage. All loops were measured by GPS. All of the loops are marked in both direction. There is a 14 mile, a 7 mile and a 6 mile loop which occasionally overlap. Each of the loops start and end at the Frog Hollow Horse Camp but can also be found and followed from the youth camp. Parking at the youth camp field is allowed in the winter months because the bar gates to the Horse Camp are closed from January 1st to just before opening day of trout season in April.
