What visitors say

Cypress Hills Riding Academy runs guided horseback rides from a spot just past the Centre Block entrance of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. The rides loop through the park's forested hills, and reviewers describe an easy-going pace that suits beginners, kids and mixed groups.

Rides last about an hour and leave several times a day. Visitors praise the hosts as friendly, efficient and accommodating with big groups, and the horses as well behaved. Families mention going back every year, and one first-time rider was five years old.

The Centre Block has plenty to fill time if you have to wait for the next ride: a pool, a lake with boat and paddleboard rentals, biking trails, shops and a zipline park. That makes the ride easy to fit into a camping stay in the park.

Booking is by phone, and reviewers suggest calling ahead, especially for larger groups or in the busy season. One recent visitor who arrived late waited over an hour for a spot. Payment was cash only on one visit, and reported prices have gone up over the years, so check the current rate and bring cash.
