Blue Bell Stables
Blue Bell Stables leads guided horseback rides from Blue Bell Lodge, and describes itself as the only riding stables within Custer State Park, South Dakota. Beginner-friendly one-hour rides follow French Creek, a 30-minute express ride suits novices and young riders, and longer two-hour, half-day and full-day rides head deeper into the backcountry, the last two for experienced riders only. Small children can take short Lil' Buckaroo rides led by a wrangler.
