Visitor tip
Visit the Treetop Trail for the best wildlife viewing, especially to see the wild horses. Reviewers note animals are more active and visible from this elevated perspective than ground level, particularly in spring.
Best time
Weekend activities are included with general admission, making weekends a good value option. However, visit on weekday mornings in spring to see animals most active on the Northern Trail and Treetop Trail with fewer crowds.
