Horseback Riding

If you want to go horseback riding while staying at Resort Content, the closest place is the Pine River Riding Stables.  There are many people in the area who ride regularly and would welcome others to join them.  You need to have your own horse.  Due to increased insurance costs, many of the local stables do not allow others to ride their horses.

We have several sets of horseshoes at Resort Content.  Currently, we take down the volleyball net and play in the sand volleyball court.  Permanent horseshoe pits are something we want to add to the resort recreational facilities.

Mountain Biking Trails

Lake Bemidji State Park and Pillsbury State Forest near Brainerd are two well known and maintained trail systems in our area of the state.  For more information we suggest accessing the Mn. Trails web site at www.mn.trails.com.  The spring 2010 issue of their publication listed several pages of trails and a 2010 mountain biking race schedule.  We are looking into other possibilities in our immediate area.  We believe there are trails in the Paul Bunyan Forest north of Nevis that are suitable for mountain biking.  Check back for more information.  We are doing some research to pinpoint other possibilities.
