Mill Pond & River Bend Property Dog Rules

Parking

All trails can be accessed from the Pipestave Equestrian Area Main Parking Lot.

Directions and Parking

Pipestave Equestrian Area Main Parking Lot

  • Park at the end of the gravel lot near the rings.
  • The lot is also used for the athletic fields so can be congested when an event is going on.

Mill Pond (lower field) and Mill Pond (pond) Parking Lot

  • These parking areas are not advised for large trailers due to the narrow roads in and out. 
  • The Mill Pond area is heavily utilized for parking by dog walkers and becomes very congested.
  • The parking near the pond is not recommended as it has deep ruts and does not provide an area to turn around.
