Horseback riding in Michigan

Michigan riding moves from the farm country and state recreation areas of the southern Lower Peninsula to the forests of the north. Stables operate inside several southeast Michigan parks, such as Brighton Recreation Area and Maybury State Park, and the Shore-to-Shore Trail crosses the Lower Peninsula from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron, partly through the Huron-Manistee National Forests. Car-free Mackinac Island offers carriage tours and saddle horses for rent.
