Ride Camp Description |

Ride Camp Website | wisconsin.gov |
Ride Camp Location | Governor Knowles State Park - Trade River Equestrian Campground 2988 Evergreen Avenue Cushing, WI 54840 Map It |
Ride Camp Coordinates | 45.59907406110056, -92.77365191883575 |
Ride Camp Directions | From Highway 87 near Cushing, WI, travel West on Evergreen Avenue to the park entrance. Follow the DNR signs. DO NOT GO TO GRANTSBURG if your directions take you there. That is the 'people' campground, not the horse campground. Also best to use Hwy 87 (either north or south) to Evergreen and NOT take backroads even if it means a little shorter distance. There is terrible cell service in this area so have your maps and routes planned ahead of time. Remember: go to the TRADE RIVER EQUESTRIAN CAMPGROUND. |

Camping - add'l information | IMPORTANT: If you have ANY site including overflow sites, and cannot make it, please contact a ride manager asap. The park has 40 reserveable sites in the main campground. Only one sleeping unit per site is allowed. Those with a non-sleeping unit (such as a BP trailer) can park with another sleeping-unit space (such as an LQ) if space permits and vehicles can stay on the gravel. Trailers can be parked in the day use if there is not room to park both units. There will be space for approximately 10-15 sleeping units in the overflow adjacent to the campground off 300th street. These spots MUST be reserved with ride management. Another, offsite space for another 15-20 units will be available 6 miles away. Those spots also must be reserved. If you are willing to take one of these spaces, we will reservice high-ties in camp near the crewing area where you can place your horse. Talk to the management team. |
Horse Containment |
|
Horse Containment Information | Every site in the campground has high ties. These do not have the chest bar. There are also a few high-ties in the overflow lot off 300th avenue. You may set up small pens around the high-ties or in areas where no high-ties are found, with management approval. You may also tie to your trailer. |
