The ride will start at dusk at the Upper Parking Lot at Wilson Creek.  Riders can enjoy sandy trails (shoes optional) by the light of the Corn or Harvest full moon.  The moon will be 99.8% full. The 5.5-mile and 7.5-mile loops will be marked with LED lights. The $40 entry fee ($25 for riders under 15) includes the marked trail, EMTs at check points, a "midnight snack" after the ride, and a grab bag prize.  Registration begins at 6:30 p.m.  Riders can start anytime between 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.  The moon will rise at 7:23 pm, and the sun will set at 7:34 p.m.  So, you can choose to ride in the dusk or the dark.  The trails are sandy, and shoes are optional.  Bring your own water and your own horse or mule (we do not provide them). Parking will be limited so carpool with your neighbor if you can. 

Pre-entering will make registration easier on the night of the ride. No penalties for no-shows. You can pay at the ride (cash or check only). To pre-register for the Wilson Creek Moonlight Ride and to receive updates,  click here.
