Woodstock Equestrian Park Trails
Description
Woodstock Equestrian Park is located in the heart of the scenic Agricultural Reserve, just north of the historic town of Beallsville. The Park consists of over 825 acres of rolling farmland and forest, and includes over 15 miles of equestrian and hiking trails.
Entrances to the park and parking areas are located on both sides of MD Rt. 28, Darnestown Road behind stone entrance walls. Biking and motorized vehicle use of park trails is strictly prohibited.
This 825 acre park is a public-private partnership between The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Woodstock Equestrian Park Foundation. Currently there 15 miles of equestrian and hiker trails available for public use, and future plans for further development of the site for equestrian activities include outdoor rings, small paddocks, a grass jump field and a schooling ring.

Trail characteristics |
The park is being developed through the vision and generosity of Hermen and Monica Greenberg and the late William Rickman Sr. and his family, along with a state grant. Portions of the park not currently under construction are available for use. The west side of the park is named the Moritz Greenberg Equestrian Center and consists of approximately 470 acres with more than eight miles of trails including the mile long, hiking only, "Meadow Trail", designed to meet ADA guidelines for trail accessibility. The east side of the park is called the Dr. William Rickman Equestrian Center and consists of 354 acres, including almost six miles of trails. George Washington originally owned a portion of land on the eastern side of the park. Several stone outbuildings dating to the 1860's remain in good condition as a remnant of the later period, historic Brewer Farm. |
