We are about 1 ½ hours east of Portland, Oregon. Northwestern Lake Riding Stables is unique, because it sits in its own little valley surrounded by the majestic Cascade Mountains of Washington. Our trails wander up and down hills, through creeks and streams, and offer stunning views of the valley and Mt. Hood. Wildlife abounds, and there are frequent sightings of deer, wild turkeys and an occasional elk. We provide guided trail rides, from one to four hours depending on the stamina of your “Derriere”. « less

I just went to find the contact information for this place to make reservations for my family again this summer and was astonished to find a negative review. I have to share my experience from last spring to let people know that these guys are great! I took my son, a first time rider, there last spring. Everyone there was... More

I treated my mom sister and brother to this place as a fun first new adventure for Mother's Day weekend. I was recommended here from the bonneville hot spring resort. I wish I hadn't spent any money on this. I loved the experience, the horses & the beautiful sights. However, the instructor, & his daughter were just rude. they were... More

Vicky, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Our family has owned this stable for 43 years, and our daughter is the 4th generation of guides. We are extraordinarily passionate in our love of horses, and that passion for horses is shared with all who visit. We strive to customize every rider’s experience to make it enjoyable... More

Four of us visited the stables in early May of 2013, and signed up for the 2-hour Horse Camp ride. Three of us have some riding experience, one had essentially none. We were impressed from our arrival all the way through until we waved goodbye to our mounts. Don't be deterred by the location being a little off the beaten... More

My friend and I had a great time at the NW Lake Riding Stable! Both of us had previous riding experience; I had not ridden for decades since I was about 14, my friend had ridden more recently when she was a park ranger. We were matched to the perfect horses! I rode Cody, she rode Rocky. Like the web... More

Our family went riding at Northwestern Lake stable on Set 11, 2010, and we had an absolutely perfect time. Proprietors Mike and Cyndy Park really know how to size up and match horses perfectly to each rider - and they would make anyone feel at home and welcome on the ranch. When I called to make reservations Cyndy is very... More

We called and made our reservation without a problem. We arrived on time and everything was ready to go. I got a nice paint and my significant other was able to ride a mule. We were a little hesitant about this at first since he had no experience, but Josephine was perfect for him!! I think they call her the... More

On September 26, 2008, during our visit to the Columbia River Gorge area of Oregon and Washington, my husband and I went for a trail ride at North Western Lake Riding Stables. What a great time! The horses are well behaved but happy to run if you want to; the tack is excellent; the stable is well maintained. The entire... More

My husband and I took a trip to Portland right after our engagement. I love horses but haven’t been on one in many years, and my husband has never ridden one before. This activity was our favorite part of our whole trip! We thought we were going out for a group ride, but it was just the two of us!... More
