Canebrake Horse Camp
Canebrake Horse Camp has 28 sites with parking spurs for horse trailers. Four of these sites are double camp sites. Each site has a picnic table, grill, fire ring, lantern post, tie posts, tack tables, and electrical hookups. Up to two vehicles are allowed at each site. The camp also provides water spigots/hydrants for drinking water, hot showers, and flush toilets. Electric hookups available, but no water/sewer hookups at each site. A sewage dump station and a horse washing station are centrally located. The Non-motorized Trail System can be accessed from Canebrake using the Home Trail, which goes around the campground. There are approximately 40 miles of horse/hike/bike trails, ranging in difficulty from easy to difficult. Opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing, hunting, picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and OHV trail use are available while staying at the campground. Check out the brochure.
