Upper Sioux Agency State Park
Granite Falls , MN

This is a Casual Competition...not a race or timed event. Skills will be the main thing judged at obstacles place along the 6 mile trail. Up to 50% of ACTHA`s proceeds go towards horse charities and heaven knows our resuces need the funds!

The landscape in the park is diverse with grasslands, wetlands, woods, rivers, open prairie knolls, old fields and meadows. Scattered bur oaks are the oldest trees in the park. The Minnesota River flows along the park`s northern boundary. The rugged scenic beauty of the river valley can be viewed along the trails and the prairie knolls. There are 16 miles of horse trails that are shared with hikers.
