Hunt Country

Hunt Country:

The country is approximately 12 miles wide by 25 miles long and is located in SW corner of Lancaster County, PA and extreme SW portion of Chester County, PA. The area is paneled with coups and logs and post and rail. The Octorara River Valley into the Goat Hill Serpentine offers moderate terrain while the Susquehanna River Hills offers some beautiful cliffs (that foxes favor) as well as open farmland. With the open fields and rocky narrow trails, any breed of horse can be both challenged and accommodated on any given hunting day.
