The area sits at 486 feet elevation. Deer and songbirds are common throughout the forest.

Geological RegionNestled within the 14,000-acre Arcadia Management Area in Exeter, Rhode Island, this equestrian paradise showcases the diverse beauty of southern New England's geological tapestry. Ancient glacial activity carved out the gentle hills and valleys that now form perfect riding terrain, while centuries of forest growth have created a rich ecosystem where granite outcroppings peek through verdant woodland floors. The area's well-maintained trail system takes advantage of this varied topography, offering riders everything from level paths along old logging roads to more adventurous routes that wind through boulder fields and across crystal-clear streams.

Go if

Horse campers who want cheap, no-frills trail access in southern New England. The arena, turnout ring, and mounting block are genuinely useful, and fall riding conditions with peak foliage are hard to beat at this price.

Skip if

Anyone without horses can't legally camp here. Even horse owners should know the facilities are poorly maintained, payment is mail-in only (no online booking), and the single hand pump and porta-potty are your only infrastructure.
