Ole Covered Wagon Inc — Attraction in Shippen Township

Loved this! Doug and Ike were the Belgian team that pulled our covered wagon, and they were consummate professionals. They were also quite handsome to look at as well! The horses were in good working weight and muscle, and appeared to be well groomed and well cared for. I wanted to ask the tour leaders how long the farm keeps their horses, but I forgot. I did however notice some pictures on their Facebook page of Doug and Ike from previous years, so I'm hoping that means their horses have long-term homes. I saw nothing to suggest otherwise, and I was very happy with my first impressions in terms of animal care.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and talkative, but not overly so that it negatively affected the ride. The covered wagon was really beautifully designed and built, and was more comfortable than I expected. The old rail trail that we followed was incredibly well-maintained, even after the huge rainfall we got recently from the remnants of hurricane Ida. The farm had a picnic pavillion area where everyone could congregate while waiting for the ride to begin as well as two large porta-potties.

Overall, we were very happy with the covered wagon tour, and it was well...

What a great time with our Belgians horse team of Jerry & Jake, our driver Chris, and our guide Jim. I was so impressed with our horses. At only 4 years old (young for a draft horse), they were so well trained & calm, even when canyon rescue vehicles passed by us to attend to an emergency somewhere in the canyon. And they loved having their pictures taken! Chris gently & lovingly had them in control at all times. And Jim was so knowledgeable and a ton of fun! He interacted with the guests the entire time. Informative & enjoyable, not a typical "stale & rehearsed" tour guide. He loved answering all of our questions & was passionate about what he was doing and about caring for the horses. We were celebrating our 39th anniversary that day and really enjoyed the 2 hour trip. I wish we were there on a Wednesday to take the 3 hour waterfall tour. Next time I guess! Our group aged 10 to 70 & was a fun activity for all ages. No wildlife sightings on this tour but it wasn't for lack of looking. The morning tour spotted the bald eagles. Beautiful scenery and would love to see it during...

The Pa Grand Canyon is very beautiful. the Ole Covered Wagon Tours was GREAT. The horses are BEAUTIFUL, The wagon itself was Great, with Nice big soft cushioned seats. It was a very comfortable ride. Jim the storyteller on our wagon was EXCELLENT !!, he told us the history of the area as well as, handing out 8.5 x 11 photos of the area. the history is very cool. his interaction with the people on the wagon was the best. We all laughed so many times. He also was very helpful in helping me and others that had trouble walking get into the wagon. there are nice low steps to get into the wagon. Unfortunately, i forgot the lady's name that was the driver but she did a GREAT job, the ride is very gentle. The wagon ride goes along a creek so you can see some wildlife you are allowed and encouraged to bring water and drinks, nonalcoholic, and snacks if you are visiting the area, i highly recommend the Ole Covered Wagon Tour WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANK YOU...
