About Big Oak Trail Rides

Big Oak Trail Rides is based in Indian Trail, North Carolina, a fast-growing community in Union County just southeast of Charlotte. The facility doesn't yet have published ratings, which means it may be newer or simply under-reviewed, but that's not necessarily a reflection of the experience. Indian Trail has expanded rapidly over the past decade as Charlotte's suburbs pushed outward, making equestrian operations in the area a welcome bit of rural character in an increasingly suburban landscape. For Union County residents who want trail riding close to home, Big Oak offers a convenient local option.
