Horseback Trail Distances For Various Rides
Posted on August 7, 2007
Filed Under Horseback Riding Around The Buffalo River |
I’m not a horseback rider myself, but I know it’s a very popular pastime in the Buffalo River area. In fact, the last few years we’ve spent our Memorial Day floating and camping out of the Wollum area and there is a huge horse camp that sets up that weekend in the field at Wollum. I’m not sure which trails they use, but I see many of them cross the river at Wollum throughout the day.
I wanted to list a few of the trails that I’m aware of. Again…I’ll be breaking out the Buffalo National River West Trail map, which lists some trails with mileages. The East Trail Map
doesn’t doesn’t reference any specific trails or distances, but does show the actual horseback trails on the map. For the purposes of this post, I won’t go into a lot of specifics about the trails, but the trail descriptions on the West half map do provide a few more details.
- Ponca to Erbie - 13.9 miles
- Steel Creek to Sneeds Creek, Erbie - 12.3 miles
- Center Point, Sneeds Creek, Erbie - 12.3 miles
- Cecil Cove Loop - 7.2 miles
- Erbie to Pruitt - 8.6 miles
All distances are one way, and all the trails are connected. Consider combining trails for a longer ride.
Pick up a map and plan a great weekend of horseback riding with friends in the Buffalo National River area!

We are planning a horseback/camping trip to the Buffalo River Area. We will be bring our own horses and trailer w/living quarters. We would like info on where the best riding is. We are experinced riders and are looking for moderate to difficult trails.
That water sure looks fun to play with horses in! And it sounds like a great pack trail. Thanks for the information.
I need to do this myself, but where am I gonna find time.
