Ford City, Pennsylvania Weather
Located in beautiful western Pennsylvania, Crooked Creek Horse Park has much to offer to the horse enthusiast. The park is 97.5 acres and lies within the Crooked Creek Park and Lake system. It is operated by the Fort Armstrong Horsemen’s Association, Inc. The horse park is a multi-use facility and offers just about everything for the horse lover, including horse shows, fun shows,
trail and endurance riding, clinics, a full scale rodeo and much more. There is full hook-up and primitive camping space. Fees are based on types of usage. The park has restrooms with showers. We also have a full service kitchen on the park grounds. The kitchen is usually open during park events. There are several restaurants and hotels within a few miles of the park.
There are three barns with a total of 198 stalls. There are approximately 35-40 miles of permanently marked trails with two long loops of approximately 18 and 35miles and several smaller loops. The trail system is maintained by volunteers. The trails are challenging with lots of short hills and no long climbs. Water is plentiful, terrain is varied with many stream crossings, pipelines, woodsy trails, some rocky areas and mud. Maps of the trails are available at the Park Information Center.
Crooked Creek Horse Park is separate from the main park, Crooked Creek Park and Lake, which is operated by the Army Corp of Engineers and is located about a mile (within walking distance) from the horse park. There is a large beach with swimming, boating, fishing and other recreational activities.
