Beach riding can be done at Holley Beach. My wife and I do it all the time and it is great. No aminities, just a great beach with lots of shells and not many people on the east side going up to the Cameron Pass.

This is a beautiful area to camp and ride with miles and miles of trails. There are a variety of terrains on which to ride. This is a place where there is always somewhere new to explore, especially if you are willing to get off the beaten path. The trails have many stream crossings to water your horses along your ride. There is a lot of wildlife including deer, coyote, turkey, squirrels, beaver and raccoons.

The Sandstone Trail (Green Dot) is 31 miles circular trail which is marked and has numerous unmarked trails branching off of it. The north portion has beautiful wooded trails, several sand hills and is quite rocky in some areas. The southern portion winds around beautiful wooded areas. The Sandstone Trail is shared with the ATV riders, which we have never found to be a problem. The majority of these riders are very considerate and polite.

Backbone Trail is a 9 mile circular trail which is well marked. This is a very enjoyable area to ride that offers a couple of steep rocky hills and several stream crossings.

Caroline Dorman Trail is a 12 mile marked trail trough wooded areas ending up at Kisatchie Bayou. You can usually find a nice sandy beach area to picnic or take a swim.

There are two Horse Camps:

Cane Camp is a beautiful shaded camp site that has flush toilets, running water and several horse pickets.
There are several parking places with easy access for trailers. Three sites have picnic tables and fire rings.
Cane camp is located on the Sandstone Trail and is a Fee Area.

Oak Camp is also a nice shaded area with many parking spots. It has vaulted toilets and several horse pickets, it does not have running water. There is a pond which could be used to water the horses. This also has access to the Sandstone trail and many unmarked trails. This is not a Fee Area at this time.
