It had great open pasture to let the horses out and the trails were nice and somewhat challenging in places. Electric hook-ups were available and water was in tanks near the horses but not for trailers at your site. No dump station was available. Owners were very nice and accommodating.

We had a wonderful 3 days Side by Side trail riding! 5 Couples go ATV riding every year and we were lucky enough to find the Outback Ranch! The cabin was great and so were the other accommodations! The trails were fun and challenging at times! Plenty of close towns to go bar hopping and eating on the county roads.

It was over 3 years ago we found this amazing gem in Mn. Such a great staff and friendly faces the first time we stepped foot at The Outback Ranch. We fell in love with the place. We bring our horses every Memorial Day weekend and we now make it a tradition for my husband and I. So much beautiful terrain to ride on. The grounds are kept up and so stunning.

This was the most amazing experience we could have ever asked for on our wedding day. Not only was the weather perfect but so was the whole weekend. Holly and Jake were so amazing. They were there for any questions or any help we needed. This venue is breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you Outback Ranch for being part of our special day and helping make it so special!

Gorgeous place and great hosts. Love the pasture option for horses. Make sure to condition horses as trails are a definite workout and some pretty challenging and strenuous. Some trails are rocky, especially newer ones so boots or shoes might be a good idea. Also not a bad idea to carry some water for horses on long rides as there is no water along trails. Some of the southern Oak Ridge/ Wetbark R... Gorgeous place and great hosts. Love the pasture option for horses. Make sure to condition horses as trails are a definite workout and some pretty challenging and strenuous. Some trails are rocky, especially newer ones so boots or shoes might be a good idea. Also not a bad idea to carry some water for horses on long rides as there is no water along trails. Some of the southern Oak Ridge/ Wetbark Recreation State forest trails are closed due to being purchase by private landowners. Current map of Oak Ridge/ Wetbark Recreation area is online on DNR website.
