Deer Farm Riding Stables

Trail rides at the Smoky Mountain Deer Farm and Exotic Petting Zoo, on wide wooded trails that are about 85 percent shaded. Suited to first-time and returning riders; ages 5 and up can ride their own horse with or without a lead line, younger children ride double with an adult, and parent-led pony rides are offered for the youngest. Reservations are required, no walk-ins. The farm also has a petting zoo with deer, camels, zebras and reindeer. Buses and RVs should call ahead about parking.
