Thanks to the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee, Nebraska Game & Parks, The National Park Service, and the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) a grant was secured for a new equestrian camp at Branched Oak Lake.  A special thanks to park superintendent, Tom Morrison and his crew at Branched Oak.  They  have been busy this past winter putting in camp sites with electrical hook-ups, corrals, a handicapped ramp, bathrooms and water! The grant would not have been possible without funding from the Nebraska Horse Trails Committee, a committee of the Nebraska Horse Council.  And our funds come from all of you who participate in our fundraising activities. So thank you! And thanks to Branched Oak for making this possible.

Stop by Area 2 and check it out for yourself. And please, most importantly…. USE IT!
