HORSEBACK RIDING - NOT SAFE. The trail was too advanced and not well maintained. The trail is up and down steep hills and rocks and is narrow so that you constantly need to push off of trees and rocks while going past on the horse so your legs don't get pinched or stuck. Our guide's horse went over a yellow jacket nest in the ground and most everyone - horses, people, dogs got stung. While trying to get away from the yellow jackets and traverse the rocky hillside we were on, my husband's horse fell on it's butt while he was on top. My horse started galloping away with me and I could not get him to slow. The guides brought their dogs along for the trail ride and one was barking and running at my horse, while I was trying to get the horse to slow, making the situation worse. I finally was able to get the horse to slow down enough to get off. I tried to hold onto my horse but the guides had lost their horses and they came galloping at me and the horse I was holding onto. I got stuck in the middle of all three horses and had to release my horse so that I could get out from in between all of them and wouldn't get kicked or stepped on. During the commotion my husband got stepped on by his horse. This was an incredibly dangerous and scary scenario in which we all could have ended up in the hospital.

In summary, the trails need to be much easier for beginners, wider, and better maintained. While the yellow jackets are a risk of being in nature, if the trail had been better maintained this scenario would have been much less likely to occur. Dogs should not be permitted to go on trail rides due to the additional distraction and safety risk that they impose.

I called the company to inform them of the incident and to receive a refund. A refund was received but only after making several calls and having a couple uncomfortable conversations in which I was told that a refund would not occur. Based on those conversations, I have no faith that the company cares or will make...

Our family had a memorable experience when we went on June 10th. It rained during our scheduled time the day before, and they gave us the 1st time slot the next day. Both guides were knowledgeable and helpful. Our teenage son about 3/4 of the way to the end got stuck in the rapids against a tree and tipped his kayak having to abandon it in the tree. We safely got him to ahore but we had to send part of our party down to the end and Monmouth Cave Adventures and park landscapes guys helped us by getting Park Rangers out there quickly to help him get to the disembarking area while the rest of the party finished the paddle down...

Went in early September with 6 people in our group with varying kayak experience. The length of the trip is really not to be underestimated. It took us about 5.5 hours overall. Bring plenty of food/water/sunscreen. I wouldn't recommend young kids to have their own kayaks. There were some decently fast moving sections and trees down creating dangerous strainer obstacles. A lady from another group actually flipped and was pinned underwater for a brief time. The vans used for transportation are old and AC less. Dragging kayaks up the steps back to the pick up location was exhausting especially after all...
