Upper Horse Trail passes through an area of McDonald Forest that is managed as mature forest for many types of wildlife to call home. Some tree species grown within this area are harvested to produce wood products used for building materials. Upper Horse Trail is a multiple-use trail open year-round to hikers, bikers, and equestrians. Upper Horse Trail is just less than one mile in length with a 117 foot gain in elevation. Upper Horse Trail is popular with mountain bikers because of its technical features and elevation gain. As the name implies, Upper Horse Trail is also popular with equestrians.
