Overview

River Valley Ranch has offered horseback riding along the Minnesota River in Carver since 1962, a working ranch of more than 400 acres with a string of about fifty horses. Guided trail rides leave at the top of each hour for riders at least 52 inches tall and under 250 pounds, with private rides for groups who want their own guide and a short half-hour ride for the youngest visitors. Reservations are taken by phone, and the ranch runs Tuesday through Sunday through the summer, weather permitting.
