Grant's Trail: Grant's Farm

Grant's Farm's web site

View exotic wildlife from a tram ride, see animal shows, and sample Anheuser Busch products. All of this is available for the incredible price of...free! (All those people driving cars have to pay to get into the parking lot, thereby subsidizing us cyclists).

A highlight of the trail, you can view Clydesdales in the pastures between the parking lot and Pardee Road, without even leaving the trail. Or you can see these magnificent animals up close in the stables at the north end of the parking lot. There are steps coming down from the trail to the south end of the parking lot.

There are restrooms and a water fountain in the Clydesdale stable - the large barn at the north end of the parking lot. The stable is open to the public during regular Grant's Farm hours.

Trail mile: 5.25

Hours:
Open spring through fall - check Grant's Farm's web site for current days and times.

Parking: There's a large parking lot, but with a per-car charge. A bike rack is located at the south end of the lot, near the entry gate. We suggest parking at the Tesshire lot for free and riding the 1.3 miles to Grants Farm
