Currier Spring Horse Camp
Located one hour west of Paisley, Oregon, Currier Springs horse camp lies in an open meadow. Currier Springs features four camping sites with campfire rings, and picnic tables. It also boasts a newer corral with four stalls, built by the Back Country Horsemen, that can accommodate four to eight horses. Horses can be watered, using the historical trough constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. From Currier Springs you can access the Fremont National Recreation Trail for miles of backcountry riding. You’ll view spectacular mountain scenery as you ride along the top of a 2,000 feet high fault block rim, known as Winter Rim or Winter Ridge.
