| Several equestrian communities have been developed now near Big South Fork but, ten years ago, people who wanted to come here for the riding bought parcels of land in Spruce Creek Acres, the oldest of these equestrian communities, and began to build cabarns (cabin/barn combination) or small cabins. Each one is different and most are tucked into the trees, so it has a very rural look and feel, although it has grown a lot and is now in its twentieth phase. Deeded trails wind throughout and connect directly to the Cumberland Trailhead, a major gateway into the Big South Fork. A central pavilion hosts a well-attended potluck supper on the last Saturday of warm months so it’s easy to meet people and find riding buddies, and a bi-monthly newsletter keeps members of the Spruce Creek Trail Association connected. The Spruce Creek Trail Association also maintains a website at www.sprucecreektrails.com. |
