Do you rent horses?
No.
Do I have to be a member to use
the park and its facilities?
No, Crooked Creek Horse Park is open to non-members. Although, non-members
will pay higher fees to use the park facilities.
Is the park always open?
The park is open year-round. However, during the larger events, we may be at
full capacity for camping and stall rental. During peak season (May to
September) you can check the CALENDAR to determine if space is available.
There you will find links to more info regarding the event, or telephone numbers
to contact the person in charge of the event.
Can I come there to camp when
events are on?
Yes - if space is available.
FAHA has been working with show managers on
trying to make the park available to trail riders and campers during the larger
events, which previously closed the park to them. If there are camper hook-ups
available, they can be used by trail riders and campers, and primitive camping
is always available. Fees will be as per CCHP rules for members
and non-members. Please see the CCHP grounds manager and/or the show
manager on those dates about stall and hook up availability. If any other
show dates become available, that information will be posted on the
calendar page. Please contact the event office for that event
to determine if campsites are still available.
What are the camping facilities available?
We have sites ranging from primitive (no electric/water) to sites with
electric/water hook-up. Water wells are located at various places throughout the
camping area. The park also has bathrooms, showers and picnic areas.
What are the trails like?
We have approximately 35 miles of trail. Some are very easy and some are
very rugged. You can review trail descriptions
here.
What is the cost to camp?
Non-members pay $15 per day with or without electric/water hookup. Stalls
are $10 per day when available. This cost includes stall cleaning - bedding is
not provided.
Where else can I camp?
In 2003, Fort Armstrong Horseman's
Association had an opportunity to purchase 60 cleared acres of nice rolling
ground that had been for sale for many years. This 60 acres is located in
Kittanning and Burrell Townships, Armstrong County. The property lies between
Camp Road and Kerr Road, one mile off of Little Germany Road (state route 2016).
Our permanent trail systems just happens to go right through this land. The
Crooked Creek Horse Park is about a 5 mile ride to and from the property via the
Covered Bridge Trail. The Covered Bridge Trail and the Horney Camp Lollipop Loop
Trail are within short distances of the property line. The trail that continues
through the property goes on to Cochrans Mills, allowing access to the rest of
the trails at Cherry Run and Crooked Creek as well as continuing on to Crooked
Creek Horse Park. We have purchased this land for development into a
Trail Head
type facility for folks to camp and trail ride. We hope to have dusk to dawn
lighting, pavilions, vault toilet, and water for horses available for primitive
camping this year. Your input as trail riders and campers is needed and we
welcome your suggestions.
Do I need a negative
coggins to enter into the park?
NO, you do not need a negative coggins to enter into the park. However, some
events (such as shows or clinics) may require to show proof of negative coggins.
Please use the contact number listed by the event on the
Calendar to find out
