Important Equestrian Safety Announcement: Stoney Run County Park is currently closed to all horses due to severe trail erosion and flooding. The east side perimeter trail has a culvert blow-out at 137th
Ave and is impassable by horse or equipment. The west side trail is severely flooded
and provides slick, unsafe footing. Remember horses are never permitted on our fitness or nature trails, nor any grass areas or fields; therefore, the park is temporarily closed to horses. This message will be updated when we re-open to our equestrians.
