RCBH Trail System

The bridle paths have been developed by the RCBH through the generosity and cooperation of the landowners of Barrington Hills and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. The paths are maintained by the RCBH. Trails located outside the Forest Preserve are for the exclusive use of RCBH members and guests.

Please refer to our bridle path rules for details.

Important Trail Closures and ReRouting

All Sectors:

Please be mindful of the wet ground when riding on private trails this spring. The landowners would surely appreciate keeping their lawns kept in nice condition for the rest of the year. Thanks.

Social Trail Rides

Katrina Lundmark and Jane Clement are promoting social trail rides and will help you organize.  If you are interested in hosting a ride or bringing goodies to help the hosts and/or hostesses please give them a call. Their phone numbers are listed in the RCBH directory.
