History of the Area
The park has been under state ownership since the 1880s. By the 1930s, the area was popular as a place for horseback riding and a trail system had been developed by community riding enthusiasts. Concerned about protecting the land, citizens petitioned the state legislature to make Bridle Trails a state park. The petition was granted and today local groups, especially those with equestrian interests, work hard to maintain and improve the facility.

The parks two largest horse shows are "C" rated hunter-jumper shows, one the third weekend in May and the other the fourth weekend in June.
