Equestrian Camping:
Designated primitive camping along the trail, only with a permit. At Frank Russell
Campground. Horses are not allowed in the actual campground, they are only allowed
where the outdoor stalls are.
Trail Notes:
Rocky steep hills, downfall and creek crossings to negotiate. The trail corridor is well
maintained and easy to follow. If the lake is at a high level, parts of the trail will flood.
Because of the flooding, the trail can get quite boggy in the wet weather season after the
lake level has receded, so it would be a good idea to call ahead and check on trail
conditions. See also the Joanna Trail, it's another horse trail at Mark Twain Lake.
