Darkes Forest Riding Ranch
Overview
Family owned and operated, Darkes Forest Riding Ranch is set in native bushland just over an hour south of Sydney, and 30 minutes north of Wollongong. It's a great place to enjoy a trail ride or a riding lesson.
Experienced ride leaders and instructors are keen to share their love of riding with people of all ages and experience levels - and safety is always the top priority. Activities and classes are designed especially for children and lessons are available for beginners and advanced riders of all ages. Darkes Forest makes your visit safe and fun, with helmets provided for all riders.
