PEA RIDGE NATIONAL MILITARY PARK

— Horse trail partially closed

The North portion of Pea Ridge Military Park’s horse trail is closed until further notice. Heavy rains of late have made this section too wet for use and susceptible to resource damage.

A short loop, consisting of five miles, will remain open. The popular trailsoffer horseback riders a unique and safe way to see the park and get some exercise. Park staff asks that riders report any downed trees or excessively muddy areas to staff at the Visitor Center.

The Elkhorn Tavern and area north of the tavern remain off limits to horses due to resource damage.
