We really enjoyed our experience with SRS! We chose the 2.5-hour Waterfall Ride, and it definitely did not disappoint! The ride was thrilling, taking us through the mountains, up and down some pretty rugged trails.
Our family of 6 rode with Smokemont Riding Stables May 28, 2026. We were camping at the neighboring campground and planned for this activity. For the price, we were so glad we chose this as our family outing. We had the best experience in the 1 hour river crossing tour.
My mom and I (intermediate riders) had an exhilarating 2.5 hour waterfall ride over Labor Day weekend! Horses were well cared for and well behaved. The trail was narrow, fully in the forest shade, and unique. You could see streams, rivers, and trees the whole time.
AMAZING!!!💜 We travel around quite a bit chasing waterfalls and horseback riding. But this was the first time we got to combine the two. Beautiful scenery on the ride over to the waterfall. Horses are are well cared for and friendly. The staff was incredible. Loved every minute of the experience ❤️
