We have spent countless hours riding at East Fork since moving to Fentress County in 1996.  And what astounds us most everytime is how uncrowded it feels even though the day rider's parking is full and there are living quarters trailers and people all over the campgrounds.  East Fork just swallows up the riders.  You may pass a couple of groups on the way to the most popular places, but it NEVER feels crowded.  A very pleasant place to ride! Oh, and the HORSE SHOWS are always fun.  East Fork hosts several charity shows raising money for everything from cancer fights to caring for stray animals to backcountry horse clubs.  They are always willing to help out! NICE POST!

It's easy to see why you're the expert in the area for not only properties, but all the best places horse and rider would go. Another great Localism post Leslie!

Leslie,

That looks like a great place to go with your horse.  I'll have to keep it in mind.
