I lived in Deep Creek since 1973 and I have never visited this park. I was pleasantly surprised…read morethat my Sister and I ran into other Creekers who were also there with their children for the first time. I loved the displays and the information about the Enslaved People who dug out the swamp to allow others to navigate the waterways. I was so happy that we went on a brisk day when the bugs were laying low. HeeHee! We were able to walk around and look at the dock, the farm house, and a few other out buildings for the farm area. Very interesting that they were families that still lived next to the swamp area. The parking lot is well-kept and free. We found a few places to sit and eat, as well as a few water fountains for visitors. Everything was clean and tidy. We enjoyed listening to the water. Very nice visit!

I've been thinking about it for a while and it fit right into my timeliness this week visiting Machicomoco and Kiptopeke State Parks. I got here and it was all paved. Bikes and pet walkers. I expected some dirt trails and pine needle tails and smelly water to brave through. Cattails or pussy willows if you prefer. Instead I got hard pavement and dogs. I did walk a little ways out. It just wasn't my thing. Cheers to the people who bike and pet walk here. If you pick up poo, put the bag in the trash. Why pick it up if you try to anonymously drop it further down the trail?

Last Summer I was looking for a fun social distancing activity to get out of the house. I've been…read moretalking about going horseback riding for the longest time. I wanted to plan something special for my partner and I. I booked the private trail ride for 2. I definitely recommend dressing down and making sure you wear sneakers. It was a very hot day I wish I had a tank top on. Before you enter the stables they go over the do's and don't for safety. There was another family there with younger kids getting the safety spiel. Our trail guide was very nice and sweet. We stopped at certain points to do photo opportunities. We both had a great time and it was definitely a great memory. They have an airbnb on site as well so if you aren't from the area you could certainly rent and plan a trail ride or lessons. There are a few other animals on site that you pet and feed.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with Kay's Acres horseback riding company! From the moment…read morewe arrived, Joe and the rest of the staff were welcoming, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. The horses were well cared for and matched perfectly to both of our experience level, which made the whole ride feel safe and enjoyable. The trail ride itself was beautiful--scenic views, peaceful surroundings, and just the right amount of adventure. Our guide Ashley was knowledgeable and made the experience even better with fun facts and great conversation. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing trail ride. We'll definitely be going back!

With the field trip we got to see and learn about ALL the animals, we were able to feed majority of them as well as go inside the bird sanctuary. Then in the end they played in the tree forts. Our group got a goodie bag of pencils and flyers. It has been a while since I had come to Hunt Club farm, my prior experience was not so grand. I'm happy to see all the updates they have made including how well they're keeping the animals. Great experience.

This was an awesome birthday surprise!!! I had no idea what hubby had planned…read more I see people coming back on horses and I was so thrilled!! The owners are great with us and the horses. I had the "alpha" horse Redbull; hubby had the wild girl, Gypsy. It was so easy to ride, lead, and let them take us on the tour of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. I was amazed at how the horses seemed to know when it was time to head out & turn around on their own because the guide wasn't near by to lead! It was an amazing start to a birthday week full of surprises!

This trip was amazing. The horses were great and the guide was great as well. My only complaint is…read morethat we were with a group of like 5 other people whose riding abilities were much less experienced than ours. We were under the impression/expected that we would be able to split off from the beginner group and ride at a pace we would enjoy. Due to covid the guide said they were only using one guide this year (instead of 2) so we were unable to split off and do any trotting or cantering unfortunately. But it was still an enjoyable experience over all. I would recommend that they consider offering a longer more private ride option in addition to their services! We definitely would have paid more to have a longer ride time at a pace we would have enjoyed more!
