Ionia Horse Trails Association
To Preserve and Protect
The first State Park in Lower Michigan to have corrals for your horses!!
What is a work-bee?
A work-bee is a planned day when IHTA members and supporters gather to improve the horse trails and campground. We trim overhanging branches, clear fallen trees, repair wash-outs, pick up trash, clear debris on campsites, set picket posts, and clean out fire rings.
When bigger projects are in order, we work together with the DNR staff planning and executing whatever needs done.
We also have fun, building friendships with like minded riders, and share a meal.
**~** April __, 2024 will be our Spring Workbee **~**
Please come help us clean up the campground and clear trails for the new season
